Yes Yuki it appears there is no god, for traders at least. At first I used
Microsoft and also had to update our local stocks, also around 20 ,by hand,
(I live in Israel) since we only have providers for real time at $45/ mo.
When I had to change from Win98 to Win XP (Win98 had become full of holes)
my Metastock became useless and I found AB with the added advantage that I
could download automatically our tickers.  Now a few days ago I saw that
Yahoo updates the main Tel-Aviv index as per stated with 20 minutes delay
but not the stock tickers themselves, these were updated after more than 24
houyrs! I became panicky and asked TJ for help,but he politely told me he
had no connection with Yahoo and to address them. This I did but so far with
no response.

The point is that if Yahoo will not update properly my AB will be worthless
unless I find another provider with ASCII quotes, etc. So I wanted to know
whether you or someone outside the US has a similar problem.
