What can you do, using the current set-up, with Excel in TS2000? Can you
use Excel functions and mathematical capabilities? For example, can you use
the GlobalServer to feed price data to Excel for real-time processing?
Can you expound on why the COM technology in TS2000 sucks? I mean, do you
think that OLE sucks? What's the difference between TS2000 OLE and other
OLE? If they're the same then why does TS2000 OLE suck?
