    I have the new Macbook Pro 15" and went online to do some stock trading with my new Macbook. It seems like either my new Macbook doesn't like Scottrade's stock streaming or Scottrade's streaming quotes don't like Apple products :eek:

    Anyone here use their Apple with Scottrade for online streaming quotes? The screen flickers like crazy when one inputs sell or modify orders.

    It doesn't do it when you just look at the streaming quotes but only does it when you click on Buy/Sell or Modify Order using Streaming Quotes.

    My guess was it had something to do with Java or Flash?
