Now I know for Sure TRAC reads this Thread! (I've been demanding they do this since April!)* TRACK DATA ANNOUNCED TODAY ITS PLANS FOR RELEASE OF myTrack-Web, A WEBSITE-BASED ONLINE TRADING PLATFORM NEW YORK, NY-November 8, 1999-Track Data Corporation (Nasdaq NMS: TRAC) announced today that it plans to offer myTrack-Web, a version of its successful myTrack online trading system that will allow customers to trade from its website. The system is expected to be available in approximately 30 days. myTrack has offered its software-based online trading system since April, 1999. The system was fully operational in June and is currently executing more than 2,000 trades per day. While the system has consistently drawn rave reviews from the customer base, there was also a need to allow customers to trade when they are not at their own pc, but are still able to gain access to the Internet from another pc or web-tv. Barry Hertz, Chairman and CEO, said, "We are very excited about the introduction of myTrack-Web. Quite a few people tried to load the myTrack software at their place of business and found that there were fire wall restrictions that prevented a successful connection, keeping them from becoming trading customers. Now those people will be able to access our website and trade the same way that our major competitors provide trading. While myTrack remains the best way to trade, there is also a world of online traders that are not ready to engage in the use of a software-based system. We believe many of these traders will upgrade to myTrack once they understand the benefits and are comfortable trading with myTrack-Web. This offering will mean that any customer can trade comfortably using one or a combination of both of our systems." Mr. Hertz further commented, "Our system has not been rated by Gomez and some of the other popular surveys because they only rate website-based systems. myTrack-Web gives us an opportunity to be included in such surveys." Sigh... guess I'll be going long Monday, damnit. *I should be used to this by now. CNET used to follow my ideas on that thread all the time. (what an ego, huh...) ^&^
