I'm glad to hear it! There is hope for us all.

Ahhh... Now we are getting to what one has to do to get it to run.
I found that TS4 runs *much* better in a dedicated, empty machine.
Perhaps TS2k would also be better on a dedicated machine.
Are the folks reporting good operation doing very little else on the
machine?
Are the folks having trouble doing other things - surfing the net (this
has been the primary cause of most non-code-development troubles on my
non-TS machines), running Office, playing games <g>?
If not, what *are* the differences between those folks who get it to run
and the ones having lots of trouble?

How many symbols, charts; how much chart complexity? These factors may
also help define what is practical to do with TS2k.

It would seem that 2k is mostly just a repackage of TS4, with more eye
candy added. We'll have to wait for improvements in functionality - they
don't contribute to the glitz, they just help traders.

Hey - I don't care what you are <g> - thanks for the info...
