Re: 2000i using Windows 98 vs. NT

While I've been as frustrated as most of the people here with the time and 
effort it took to sidegrade to TS2Ki, in fairness to the folks at Omega, I 
have to say that running under NT 4 SP5 on a 400 MHz AMD K6 processor with 
256 MB of RAM, TS2Ki is more solid than TS4 was under WIN98 on a P100 with 
64 Mb of RAM.  I can have 30+ workspaces open now with 3 charts and a total 
of a dozen or so indicators in each workspace without crashing every two 
hours like I was with TS4.  Running TS2Ki on anything much less than this 
configuration (I upgraded to my current configuration by just adding 
"stuff" until it worked) is asking for trouble, though.  Since I've 
upgraded to build 591 of TS2Ki on this configuration, I've managed to go 
for up to 10 days between crashes.  Before, I was lucky to get through a 
whole trading day without a crash.
