"when you say "for those who want to stay with old technology""
So what if I am making money with my old technology? Does that mean I'll
make more money with the new technology? Doubt it. Here's some more
reasons why I could see people wanting to stay "with old technology..."
Also implicit in this statement is that this so called new technology is
somehow more useful than the old (Y2K aside). This isn't necessarily true.
How about not wanting to spend the hours to learn and configure a new piece
of complex software.
How about wanting to avoid the pitfalls that inevitably occur when you're
learning new software
How about since you're making money with TS4 there's little monetary
incentive to spend the time to upgrade to TS2000.
How about the additional cost of a new faster PC (and the time to get it and
install it) and bigger hardrive to handle TS2000's additional processing
overhead.
How about the unknown cost of inevitable screw ups when using your systems
in the new product
How about waiting for Omega to work out the inevitable bugs in the first
release so that you aren't a pig in a poke.
These are just some of the reasons why one would want to avoid upgrading to
TS2000 during 1999 and even further out.
TS4 should already be Y2K compliant.

Pierre,
when you say "for those who want to stay with old technology", it implies
that such people are stupid. The real factor is money. You fail to mention
the cost of the upgrade to TS5 compared to the cost of the patch. Do you
know what the prices will be?

TradeStation2000 is very close to complelion now, is Year 2000 compliant
and should be released soon during this quarter, only to current TS4 ( and
below) users first.
Then will come the TS4 patch for those who want to stay with old technology
for the next century.
