My name is Eduardo da Silva and I work 
    for Equis, as many of you may know I subscribe to the group and read the 
    posts often.  Even though, I been having fun observing the post 
    regarding MetaStock v10 and the worries of everyone I thought it would be 
    cruel to allow some of you guys to become so worked up with false 
    rumors.
     
    I wanted to make sure everyone in the 
    group knows officially from Equis, since I represent Equis, that we have no 
    intentions of locking MetaStock to only a single data source as suggested. 
    Equis is honestly all about its customers, and what benefit would there 
    be to our users if we were to lock the data access in MetaStock to only one 
    vendor. The answer is none, so even though at times we have limited 
    resources, which may give the impression that we are staring at our own 
    navel, we make a serious effort and invest a lot of time and money to 
    ensure that we are looking outwards treating each customer as if they were 
    our only customer, our employer. I know that sometimes it doesn't look that 
    way but we are trying as hard as we can.
     
    Everyone around the office is passionate 
    about our users, our products and our company. Such Spirit is what has 
    motivated my to stay for over 5 years now, and honestly I am one of the 
    newer employees at Equis, I can say that over 80% of Equis' employees have 
    been working here for over 5 years. We want to make sure that we are 
    fulfilling the vision of Equis founder, Steve 
    Achiles, "To help people become better investors through 
    the use of Technology."
     
    Equis staff honestly strive to service 
    its customers, if you have suggestions of things that we can do not only to 
    our product but to our business practices to give you our 
    Employer a more satisfactory service please let us know, we 
    have very thick skin around here so you don't have to worry 
    about offending any of us, after all you are the boss.
     
    Rest assured that this rumors are 
    nothing but FALSE statements. They are nothing but malicious 
    rumors.
     
    We thank you for your loyalty, for your 
    dedication and appreciate to MetaStock. 
    
    
    Hey Joe,
     
    Do you know how much it is going to cost to 
    upgrade from a "crack" version of 8.01?  Will the "crack" update be the 
    same cost as the basic, 8.01, software ($0.00)?
     
    Just wondering,
     
    Steve

"There is nothing as effective as a bunch of 
      facts to spoil a good 
rumor"
I doubt they will lock out other 
      data vendors...all that would do is 
shoot themselves in the 
      foot.
I'll wait for the truth, rather than jumping to conclusions, 
      based 
off of a rumor.
