<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>&gt; Theo,<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; After having&nbsp; 
Ameritrade's account for about 4 years, now I am considering to close it. 
My<BR>&gt; only, but big for me complaint is that confirmations are very slow - 
typically more than<BR>&gt; 1 hour (the last time when I placed orders with 
Ameritrade was late last year, cannot say<BR>&gt; if there are recent 
improvements). Although I am not a daytrader, yet it means in practice<BR>&gt; I 
cannot correct my order - for quite a while you don't have a slightest idea if 
it was<BR>&gt; executed at all and at what price if it's at market.<BR>&gt; 
<BR>&gt; Cheers, Vitaly<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt; P.S. Sorry, could not respond earlier 
having problems with my ISP vs. Metastock List<BR>&gt; server.<BR>&gt; <BR>&gt;

To Equis Support!
If that is an oxymoroon.

Continually charging our customers for the for bugs in your software is
a little less than ethical. Most software manufacturers publish patches
or fixes on their web sites. If the directions are clear and written in
lain English, there is no problem. I think you ought to rethink your new
policy. When version 7.0 was first advertised, Equis promised free fixes
for any bugs that developed.

Downloading patches or fixes online is a cheaper and more efficient
alternative than waiting for snail mail. From reading this forum, it is
apparent that you are not listening to the needs of your clients. No one
expects a free lunch but one doesn't want to be charged six times for
the same salami sandwhich.
