Well after a couple weeks on SP3 real time I can report it is better on my
system than SP2. P-II/400/256 NT4SP6. Internet feed pcQuote latest server
farm (quotes2.pcquote.com). Last week still had feed problems, causing GS
crashes, none this week even when pcQuote reported satellite problems. No
crashes does not mean its fully functional, it just means now I'm willing to
try running systems & backtesting.
I upgraded to NT4SP6 before the TS2Ki/SP3 upgrade. I shut down GS every
night, then do H/B download & nitely maint before the market. Doing charts
and OptionStation searches & analysis ONLY I don't have a problem with old
workspaces vs SP3 workspaces. Datafeed daytime disconects have dramatically
decreased, so I don't see the multiple GS crashes previously occuring
throughout the day. And the GS initialization is much faster, rarely
crashes, and actually behaves like a Real Time program was advertised to do
months ago.
To Bill & Omega Tech's: Should I have to do all this for a product
advertised as the internet way to real time trade? No. Does it now work as
advertised? (For me, that means only for the features I want) We'll see.
After 7 months of treading water, I now start the clock on the 90 day
product evaluation. Last chance, Omega. MB is out there and you've treated
me badly. My loyalty is to my back pocket, not Omega, not MB, not any stock
or the market. Stay tuned.

Subject: RE: TSY2K SP3 & Win98 SP2
I am running SP2, but installed it AFTER upgrading to Win98 SE.
I do not run real-time, but do extensive backtesting with complex
indicators.......
rarely do I run into a problem.
Sometimes there is a memory leak that forces a reboot....but maybe once per
week max.
Hogstation is not that bad, but what is bad is the fact that Omega didn't
mention the need for 256megs of RAM !!!! At today's prices, that is $800
!!!!
BTW: I am NOT going to install SP3...despite the desperate need for several
fixes.....
