spend
a little time here and you will see there are MANY people helping out on a daily
basis. Why pay for a support person to monitor the board when the board takes
care of itself? If you have a problem the board can not solve then email support
and you get help , often the same day. TJ's success is in fact all our success.
I have been hanging around some 2 years and have witnessed the growth of this
product. Prior to that I was a full time user of what you referred to as the
higher end products. There is simply no comparison to AB and MS. There is no
comparison to AB and TS. I have enjoyed countless upgrades and bugs are fixed
almost faster than they can be reported. Bigger is not always better. Buy an
upgrade to MS and endure the challenges then get back to us. Equis has a
team of management consultants , marketing guys and development personnel yet
they are losing users. TJ has limited overhead and a quickly growing client
base. It is a different marketing model, that does not in any way make it
inferior.

IQFeed plugin version 1.5.1 releasedBy the way, if AB
has not grown enough as a business in so many years to be able to afford
to hire someone to handle the virtual communities (like this one) for AB,
that in itself is a sign AB could benefit from some additional marketing
and business development strategy. Little growth is generally deemed as a
financial loss in the business world, due to the growth of
competition.Imagine if this board or one like it had a full-time
person devoted to it. That's what I'm talking about here. No real gains,
then no perks for the customer. His successes are your
successes.It may serve your immediate purposes to keep things as they
are, but that's a bit selfish and unrealistic, don't you think?~B
