Accutrade (800-882-4887) charges just 3 cents a share with a $48 minimum. So you could buy 1,600 shares of IBM for just a $48 commission. The same trade at a traditional discounter would cost about $230. At Merrill Lynch: $750. (Except that at most full-service brokers, all you have to do to get a break on the commission is ask. A really active account may get 50% or 60% or even more off the official rates.) I like Accutrade because you can punch in orders or get quotes 24 hours a day by Touch-Tone phone...

(800-252-0090) -- which is not remotely the old- line Massachusetts firm its name conjures up -- charges just $20 on "odd lot" trades (fewer than 100 shares) and as little as a penny a share commission on stocks selling for under a buck...

After decades of unappreciated drudgery, American women just don't do housework anymore -- that is, beyond the minimum that is required in order to clear a path from the bedroom to the front door so they can get off to work in the morning...
...Bryansk, for example, a city of 500,000 about 210 miles southwest of Moscow, many defense plants have closed or cut back. Unemployment and inflation are rising to the point where the monthly minimum wage will buy only 10 lbs. of meat. Old communists like Pyotr Shirshov, a former army general who now heads the city soviet, predictably accuse Yeltsin of practicing "a pure form of dictatorship." More ominous for the President, disaffection has spread to young people, who might be expected to back reform. "I'm not really interested in politics," says Sergei Mishin, 20, an industrial technician...
...course, it depends on what speed processor and how much memory you have in your computer. There is a required minimum of 2Mb RAM, but only someone who's never heard of Microsoft would use it with less than 4 Mb RAM, especially if you want to take full advantage of system 7 features. As 7.1 is an odd release, you should feel fairly secure that Apple has fixed most of the problems of the earlier model...
