TS2000i *is* dead. If you goto the omega site - there is no mention of the
product. FAQ's and Tech support on the site no longer exist.
They do now offer their brokerage version - but no support for the stand
alone product that I paid $2400 for. I am upset because I do like the
product very much, and feel that continued support on a product purschased
less than 1 year ago is not unreasonable.
And for SP6..... sayonara suckers.... (me included ;(
