>>I think much of the dissapointment here regarding Datek is from those who would like Datek's service to be the same as a broker sitting at his trading console<<

Not true. As I've said many times, all I expect from Datek is for their servers to be able to support their users. I've used Datek since January. Back then, the servers were lightning fast, I was happy. As Datek grew, they really started to advertise and gain many customers and soon their servers could not handle the increased capacity. It's the same thing that happened to AOL. Datek, like AOL, was doing an irresponsible thing of signing on more customers than their servers can handle! At least AOL admitted the problem and partially corrected it.
