It strikes me that if Omega cannot be specific about if or when their
products will be Y2K complient and how much the upgrades will cost,
then woe unto the customer because promises and good-intentions are as
good as the paper they're printed on.
On the other hand, if Omega says "yes version such and such of
Tradestation will be Y2K complient" and "it will cost you this much
on this delivery date", then it becomes a contractural obligation.
If they can't live up to the terms of their contract then TS
users have grounds for a class action lawsuit. If they can't provide
specifics I would investigate alternate tools.
Since some of you work for brokerage firms or make a significant portion
of your income using Omega tools, don't you think you have a fiduciary
responsibility to yourself and your company to exact a gaurentee
of Y2K complience from Omega? Or to put it another way, I wouldn't
pony up any money until Omega provides some gaurentee that the products
you are basing your trading decisions on will be usable past a certain
date! If I were managing a trading house, such vaguaries would give
me the willies.
You guys are such sticklers for devising the most optimal and
profitable trading strategies, that I can't believe you're going to
just hang onto a ticking time-bomb and "hope" it doesn't go off!
