I have been on this list for a couple of years and always been amazed at the
amount of problems people seem to have with BMI. I have also been quietly
surprised that nobody ever complains about Futuresource. I have used them
for 3 years and have had one break in service (due to a severe thunderstorm)
in that time. It seems to me that if you are giong to trade for a living
you might as well pay for the best tools and do the job well. So much time
must be spent on fixing cheap data services I am amazed users of BMI, DBC,
etc ever get the time to trade....
Just thinking out loud,
regards
Philip
