Yes I like that you reinstall but don't keep anything else. No data,
no systems and no indicators. Good show Dave. I'll stick to my way
and just keep installing right over the old stuff. It has only worked
for me for three years.
Yo Dave I find corrupt workspaces are number one problem then corrupt
data then lost registry entries. Why don't any other programs do
this? Only Ts2ki does it. BUGWARE. Show me that SP6
Omega/Tradestation promised.
