Datek: I just had a look at the "new classic" pages (orders 8) as it looks this Thursday morning. It's a rather nice compromise - only one thing I would REALLY like you to change: COULD YOU LEFT-ALIGN the TICKER NAMES? Please! I don't know who decided to center-align them, but it's very difficult to "skim" the tickers when getting quotes for several stocks in one go.

About the pseudo load balancing you are attempting to do by having users click a button:
1) As it has been pointed out by at least one other poster, the PROFESSIONAL way of load balancing is by letting the router deal with it. The cost and effort of this is really quite minor - have you at least checked it out?
2) If you INSIST on using this kind of pseudo load balancing, at least provide a page for the button that doesn't take ages to load - i.e. No graphics, no java, just a button. PLEASE!
