Peter (OT), Qcharts is by far the best RT quote package I've seen in the $80 range...probably the best in any price range. Have used it since Feb and only possible complaint might be information overload and no limits to the flexibility and power of the package. They have a few customer service problems yet, and it can be tricky to get them to take your money, but there are support forums here on SI and a onelist service where any questions are answered quickly by the programmers, the head of the development team and even the company president. There seems to be a new beta version every week, with recent emphasis on TA tools. They even added the Island book as somewhat an alternative for folks that don't want to pay the $50 Nasdaq level II exchage fees.
They maintain tick by tick data going back to '97 I believe, and closing data going back 10 years if memory serves. They maintain all the data, have multiple servers for fault tolerance, hot lists, regional exchange data on options and equities and even fundamental data.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling, check out the SI thread...
