Tony:
I take no insult in anything you said. And I'll say it again...I am not an Omega
hater. But I will not be taken advantage of. I beta test many products for many
electronic trading related firms, I participate heavily in many on-line groups,
I know many educators in this business and you can bet I am going to raise some
hell about TradeStation current versions not being year 2000 compliant and Omega
being unwilling to listen to its users in this matter. And as we've seen in the
past few days, we can now add more bugs to this list.
I'm not alone out here. I know many of you want your existing product to be
supported--This is only fair. Use all your resources and demand that Omega takes
care of its existing clients. I'm going to use mine to put some media pressure
on them....
I don't want an email from them. I want a year 2000 compliant patch for my
existing program. And I want it now. After all...Bill Clinton and the US
government may be compliant before Omega, if Omega continues at this rate.
