Sorry "dude",
But I believe you're mistaken about Win95. Just check the available "date
formats" that exist within the Win95 environment. You'll find that a four-
digit year is available. Once in this mode, Win95 is Y2K compliant. Any other
questions?
The rest of your reply is Sour-Grapes. If you were a true computer-geek, you
would side with Omega and understand and realize the dilemmas that they are
facing as a software company, not a broker, not an online service, not a data
provider or anything else of that arena. They make a charting software for use
with Technical Analysis specifically System Testing. From what I've heard, the
charting module is not having a problem. It's the Server (which has a work-
around, something common in the software industry, which you should be
familiar with, being a Geek since 1973) and the Power Editor which I am sure
knowing the huge spectrum that EL covers would have a work-around as well. If
one knew how to write EL well enough? As far as the rest of the arguments
regarding "I'm going to lose my data if/when I go up to TS5.0"
EVER HEARD OF A TAPE BACKUP???
Any other insights??? BRING THEM ON!!! BRING THEM ON!!

1. I'll have to triple-check before I state categorically that W95
was NOT fully Y2K compliant back then, but I'd put good money on it.
2. For your information, dude, I've been a computer geek since 1973.
Made my living that way for over 20 years, and I still command large
daily consulting rates -- including a few small Y2K-related gigs.
I know what I'm talking about.
You might want to be a bit more careful about who you're making into
an ass. Clue: it ain't me.
