I wasn't here until 10:30 eastern time this morning but there has been no
outage since then. I called a friend of mine in Colorado who also uses PMB
and he said he has experienced no outage all day. Between the two of us we
trade 3 accounts at PMB and total number of trades per day is usually 12-15
trades. Outages that cannot be traced to an ISP problem have been rare for
us. I will concede that there were numerous problems last fall but we have
had very, very few problems this year. I am in no way connected with PMB and
have nothing to gain by sticking up for them. I'm just an extremely
satisfied client who feels that different opinions should be expressed.
