Re: Suggestions on Upgrade from TS6 to TS7

["Josh Murakami" <elitethink2@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is true, but ts6 will still be available for many months more.  My
personal preference is to wait for the bugs to be cleared out or the
promised data becomes available before I upgrade, even if I have to manually
change my symbols as a consequence.  Best to you though.
