Nice try BEK, but www.techstocks.com just brings me back to the new SI. Maybe all the good stuff (Spotlight & Folders (with old messages) will be there when they are done fiddling with the Beta. I hope so. I like the "next 10 messages" features on the new SI. Everything else was better the old way. We'll see. Dick

That's interesting... I guess it's another example of why I dislike the old SI and like the new one. Unlike so many who post here, I could never find stuff in the old site. I have no problem finding things in the new one. I'm sure I looked at Spotlight once or twice, but the name makes no sense to me, so I forgot that it was there. Now that you point it out, I see that Spotlight is a cool feature. It isn't quite matched in the new site which actually provides more information, but not filtered in the same way. It looks to me like the Spotlight list could be matched in the new SI if they were to add just one more choice to the "Indexes" dropdown on the MarketTools:Movers/Shakers page. The spotlight list in the old SI filters out either tech stocks or biotechs. If they added the same filters in the new site, it would give the same list with easier access to other data because of the "More Info" column. It looks like they should also add an "Indexes" tool to the Market tools section in the new site to match that feature in Spotlight.
