not true. you can do multiple symbol charts just like in
2000i.
as far as data on hard drive vs on demand. what they should
do is provide not only real time data on demand but also
historical data on demand up to n years back intraday so
if i wanted to look at  sp or dell  2 years ago in 5 min format
they should have it and clean.  after all we are system developers
we need data not only real time but also historical. now they
can charge for it extra and i would not mind but the main
thing it should be available on demand.

* both real time and historical data should be available on demand.
historical on demand data should be available as intraday or eod.
intraday i think 3-5 years is good enough, historical eod they need
to have that as far back as possible.

as far as hard drive
i don't want to store data on my drive and i don't want to
manage that data. i would rather pay to have access to clean
data on demand compared to having to maintain it myself...
this is the new standard and is here to stay for a long time...
bilo.
