Gee Jim thanks for the info, but it must be said that just because it it computer related that everyone on this list cares at all.
This list really doesn't need (my opinion of course) yet another thread that is completely off-topic and the thing that helps that most is if we don't post off-topic in the first place.
Please feel free to submit a link to Digg, or Slashdot if you really need to tell everyone (nearly everyone here reads at least one of those I'd bet and if they don't that's their right to not care about that news too)
Very Respectfully Scott

Interesting way to promote the 'netcraft toolbar', which of course is a window$ only product.

A temporary trading hold for at least 10 seconds have occurred anytime the system knew it was more than 10 seconds behind. Their job as I see it, is to show the traders the realtime status, and if it cannot do it, stop trading until the machinery is caught up and displaying current stats. To do otherwise is playing upon the kindness in the hearts of the traders who are being caught out by stale data.

Just because the public website of the NYSE are running on either Solaris or Windows, that doesn't have any relevance to what operating systems power the internal trading system. What's more interesting in that article, considering part of the problem is blamed on the trading system server, is that the article specifically doesn't mention what powers the internal trading system of the NYSE.

FYI, The netcraft toolbar is web browser dependent extension. Netcraft provides one for IE and one for FF. I've been using the one for FF on window$/Linux/Unix, since it's inception and find it to be a very valuable tool ;-)
