It works for me.

The new, modified, "classic" seems to me to be a workable compromise between conflicting desires.

1. Everything seems to go faster now.

2. I'm pleased that the old-style, readable, fractions were kept.

3. I like the new olive surrounds. When you introduced them I switched back and forth between old classic and new classic and realized how harsh the all-white screen was on my eyes, something I hadn't even been aware of previously.

4. I am displeased with the lack of the spread on the confirmation page, but never mind, I open another window and check it there before pushing the last button. I am unable to think of a reason for not including it, except, possibly, speed; it leaves the unfortunate impression that it may have been left out to encourage more trading.

5. I, too, think cell surrounds would enhance readability; but I am happy with what I assume is the trade off - getting more quotes onto the page.

So, altogether, good, fine. Thank you for keeping the old classic and, perhaps, bettering it. When do you go public?
