Yep, it was Jim's idea. It works for me as well. And a good one IF TS's
long term stability is not compromised. The few months may stretch into 12
to 18 months...my opinion...then the stability could be an issue
I never said it was stupid, only crazy. I still stand by that comment. A
Y2K fix from Omega would end this thread.

An Omega tech support dweeb I spoke with several weeks ago said (probably
reading from the Omega manual) that it was not a good idea. I'll withhold
judgement until someone who has more experience from Omega responds to this
question. Long term stability of 12+ months is my main concern, because
that's how long I think that it will take to get the Y2K patch
This affects traders who trade euros, crude, bonds, leaps, and maybe the
ag's. Will not affect S&P's until next summer (Jun 99).

Agreed.

You have your opinion and I have mine...whether you or I are right or wrong
is irrelevant.

And I thank God for the American legal system...I'll take the good with the
bad anyday to live in a country where the appeals process works...though,
we could use better tort laws...again, my opinion.
