OK Bryan, it has been OVER 2 hours since anyone posted here so I figure that
you MUST be going crazy checking the thread, a question:
Portfolio/Charts/Compare says:
"Please select the companies/indexes you want included in your comparative chart: (Max - 7)"
when in fact it is a max of 10, ranging from 10 stocks to 7 stocks plus 3
indicies. Should we be writing this up as a "bug" whose verbiage needs
correcting, or merely regard this as a new "feature", getting more than we
barganed for?

Bryan,

Caroline said it so well I want to repeat it:

"My old cave had a limit to the width of the words in a message. My new cave cares little for the ability of my eye muscles to scan across a monitor's width.
My old cave had pastel colors, light, easy on the eyes and emotions. My new cave is as exciting and comforting as a day at the army barracks.
My old cave had boxes around my messages, so I knew which part of the page I wanted to focus on first. My new cave makes me search for the content every time I click 'next'. "

I do very much sincerely hope you'll be giving us at the very least the option to make this visually usable, cuz it don't work the way it is. Too wide, wrong colors, yuck. It's so nice to go back to the current site after being over here. Someone suggested a grey, rainy day - maybe Jeff, Brad and Jill shouldn't have moved to Seattle! So I'm encouraged to hear you're working on a solution. I look forward to seeing it.

Pete

Thank you Bryan.

David, see? If I don't speak up, Bryan won't hear me.

That's the purpose of beta.

Can you estimate the approximate date for making the final changeover to the new system and scratching the word "beta?"

Best wishes,

I2
