Typical day of trading with TS2Ki (it's been out for over a year now,
folks):

6:47am EDT

TS2Ki was collecting data when the machine locked up and the monitor went
black (TS2Ki running all by itself on a 500MHz PIII, 256Mb PC100 SDRAM w/
ECC, Asus P3b-f motherboard, Matrox G400 AGP2 video w/32Mb SGRAM, Win98se,
BMI cable, DataManager reporting Reception OK and Password OK).

Machine must be rebooted with reset switch (ctrl-alt-del ineffectual).

3408 lost clusters in 15 chains.

Boot area on drive c: contains invalid information on free space...

13 temp files need to be erased

7:09am EDT

After repairs, TS2Ki is up and running again.

What a great program!

Does anybody really trade with this?

There's a MetaStock ad in BMI's "the Exchange" this month. It asks if
"program crashes make your drive down Wall Street too costly? Are you tired
of dealing with repeated program crashes? Have you experienced what Futures
magazine calls, '...a number of reliability problems, some of which appear
and disappear like ghosts?'"

Of course, they want us to convert to MS, but they do have a point, TS2Ki
still ain't ready for real time trading. IMHO, you trade with it at your
extreme peril.
