YES!! PO, Please STOP your ignorant defense of the indefensible!! You've
made it painfully obvious over the years who you work for.

I tried to talk some sense into John Sweeney when he posted asking us for
feedback on TSPro. I asked him not to review the new product until Omega
produces a build of TS2Ki that is reliable for real time trading (by that I
mean, no disappearing tool bars, no bogging down at the open, the ability
to use the Tracking Center and Quote Monitors real time without bringing
everything to a standstill, etc).

Messages to this list suggest that TSPro suffers from similar problems. The
apparent cause is that both programs are poorly coded and probably never
will run efficiently no matter how much hardware you throw at it.

TASC makes too many ad dollars off Omega to be objective about any Omega
product. Remember that review they wrote about TS2Ki in the Oct '99 issue?
They claimed to run it on an HP Vectra 400MHz PII with 128Mb RAM. Come on,
the minimum machine I can get half of it to run on is a 500MHz PIII with
256Mb RAM. Maybe the secret is that newbie with three weeks experience who
did the testing. Who do they think they're kidding? I'm not renewing my sub
to TASC, it's not an honest magazine.
