Lionel,
     If I was only using their quotes data, I would already have gone 
elsewhere <G>.  The problem is that nobody matches their search capability.  I 
sure hope they do get their act together, because they have a potentially 
great product.

Telescan has been having much trouble with their data.  They still have not
corrected the problem of downloading the day after a holiday, and a number
of their symbols have gotten messed up.  If they dont clean up their act,
go elsewhere.
