Aladdin MacTicker - Version 1.6 MacTicker is a simple Internet application that lets you view the free stock market information provided online by financial websites around the world. You can watch any number of your stocks roll by on the ticker, or call up a detailed report for each of your favorites. MacTicker updates this information once a minute right on your desktop. You can configure it to alert you to stocks that are doing particularly well, or warn you to sell that stinker. MacTicker gives you all the charms of the stock market, without the traders. To run MacTicker you need the following things: - A PowerPC-based Macintosh computer. - System 7.5 or better. - Open Transport.
