 Independent of the merits/demerits of dongles and Safekey's, I
 think there ought to be a law against a company that takes advantage
 of a Year 2000 bug, and uses it as a method for ensuring that its
 customers upgrade to the new Y2K-compliant version.
 
 Just curious, has anyone tried advancing the date (is this even
 possible with a realtime data feed?) past 2000, to see what TS4 and TS3
 do with that?  For example, one could build an ASCII file of historical
 data for '97 and '98, and change '97 -> '99 and '98 -> '00 and see
 what happens.  Mark, have you tried this?
 
 While we're on the subject, do the various historical and realtime
 datafeed providers have implicit Y2K compliant problems as well?

I was only suggesting that Omega could take the advantage of the TS4 of the
Y2000 bug to change the TS4 protection and update for free any registered
user.

I wrote for free, for regular users, so I can't see where a lawsuit could take
place.

Sincerely,
