Commercial discurse has alway been my worst nightmare.
Never forget that the ancient Greeks had the same Godness for merchant and
thieves.
Lets translate now into politically incorrect:

TR:
We fall int he same category than the other software companies: We are unable
to keep our delay straight.
Omega, TradeLab, WOW, same thing.
But we have excuses.
We work.

We cannot say for sure if the next delay will be kept.
However, be prepared to our next offer.

TR
Any stupid company will have a Y2000 compliant product before Y2000, so we are
like others: we want to sell after Y2000.
Only very very stupid companies will develop Y2000 non compliant software
after Y2000, so we have only a few month to still use this commercial
argument.

If you are an extensive EL user, be careful, because we cannot guarantee that
you code will act the same in both products, despite of our enhancements to
the language.
(We write this because we do not want a lawsuit from Mark Brown, now occupied
to sue Metastock that does not work from his own words).
If you are not using EL intensively, you are probably so dumb that you will
not see any difference with the original TS code.

We are not cheaper than Omega, and we add $100 as a bonus.
Of course it was not so easy to develop a TS clone...so it costs money.
We need to quick recover cash now. An IPO is impossible after Omega's.

TR
Our previous Metastock like pseudo language was the biggest mistake that we
ever made.
We are trying to stick to a real programming language now.
But the upgrade will not be probably for free.

Well...our software runs on computers.

well, well.

-As Pierre Orphelin uses Omega List as his own ad media, we cannot see what we
could not do the same.
-But It's an Omega List ?
-Bah! ...
Next time when you will open your WOW-List, please let me know, and I'll
advertise for my Omega compatible products on it.
