The other real story of my day was the e-signal news server was out from hours before the open until into the early part of my trading day. Enabled me to see just how dependent I am on this for trading.

I was unable to research many, many plays and as a result had to sit out.

UGH. All of us are highly reliant on technology.

Here is the DBC response to my plea for help--revealing.

Dear Client,
Worldcomm, one of the major Internet backbone providers is experiencing an
outage this morning. This is affecting the exchanges' ability to transmit
data to DBC. You may be unable to log in to the eSignal service, or you may
see intermittent lapses in data from some exchanges. As of 7:54am PDT, we
have seen this specifically with the CBOT and Dow Jones ($INDU) Our
engineers are in contact with Worldcomm and the exchanges regarding this
issue. Please check back at this site for further updates. Additionally,
there are currently problems with our News Servers. Our network is also
aware of this situation and is working toward a resolution. We apologize for
any inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Last Updated: July 28, 1999
For future reference go to dbc.com

Sincerely,
Marie Romero
DBC Techonline Rep
