Slick Trick

I could suggest that you spend some quality time with the Late-Late-Late Show, stay up until 2:01 AM, and click the Check Now button, but this is something you can deal with in the daytime. And you deal with it by opening the Date & Time system preference, unchecking the Set Date & Time Automatically option, entering 2:00 AM in the time field, launching the Software Update system preference, and clicking Check Now. You don’t have to accept any of the updates. Quit System Preferences and relaunch it. Return to the Date & Time system preference, enable the Set Date & Time Automatically option to get the correct time. Software Update will continue to believe it should check for the next update at 2:01 AM.

I, too, have been contemplating a move to a MAC, using a laptop and a docking station for home use. In the past, the MAC OS could not run my trading platform, only Windows could. I understand now that MAC machines also have Windows preloaded on them so one can switch to that OS if required to run a particular program that the MAC OS cannot run. Do you know if this info is correct, or do I need to continue with WinOS to run my trading platform?
