No Rick-- that was not me,,, This is interesting--- I guess PALM availability is no longer a problem,, Great for Trac and good for PALM..
NEW YORK, Jan 26, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Track Data Corporation
(Nasdaq NMS: TRAC) announced today that it will offer its myTrack
members the opportunity to purchase a Palm Pilot VII for the discounted
price of $299. The Palm Pilot VII retails for $499.
By combining the lowered costs of bulk buying with a significant
subsidy, Track Data is able to offer its myTrack members a far better
price for the Palm VII than is normally available to consumers.
"We think that subsidizing Palm VIIs is another value-added service for
our current members and a great way to attract new members," said Barry
Hertz, Track Data Chairman and CEO.
Last week, Track Data announced that myTrack members can use their Palm
VIIs to access the myTrack online trading system to obtain quotes,
place trades, and check positions.
"It's a natural fit," continued Hertz. "Our members use myTrack because
it has a fully integrated trading screen with streaming real-time
quotes and news. People who like that professional-style environment
like to stay connected to the market and to their portfolios. With the
Palm Pilot VII and its wireless access to myTrack, you're always
connected."
To access myTrack from a Palm Pilot VII, users can download the web
clipping file at mytrack.com. The Palm Pilot VII is a
product of 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq: COMS).
Because of the anticipated demand for $299 Palm Pilot VIIs, Track Data
is making them available only to myTrack members with trading accounts.
Track Data will also be limiting the offer to one unit per household.
Current myTrack members can request a Palm Pilot VII by sending an
e-mail with their name and account number to palm@tdc.com. People who
are not yet members can open a trading account by going to
mytrack.com and clicking on the "Open a Trading Account"
button.
Track Data is also planning a promotion for the RIM Inter@ctive Pager,
as soon as the Pager can access the myTrack system. Earlier this year,
Track announced an agreement with Flextrader.com to develop a wireless
trading platform for the RIM Inter@ctive pager. (See Track's 1/7/00
Press Release for further details.)
