TFF,

Those are helpful links, however if you go farther back in time you will find other promised delivery dates for new feed, server farm changes, that were all missed by a mile or never met at any date.

Improved Island feed
'in the process of establishing a better connection to Island' Nov 1 1999
Message 11765458

current status: unknown; pre-beta at best

Merge tool
'so I am optomistic (sic) that we can begin merging symbols soon, perhaps in the next 1 - 2 weeks' Jan 11 2000
egroups.com

'We are likely looking at another 2, maybe three weeks' Feb 3 2000
egroups.com

A query raised on Feb 23 (http://www.egroups.com/message/qcharts/9212) was ignored. The next mention of this was on Jul 12:
'We recently launched a project to create this tool, and our current target to have this tool is early September'
egroups.com

Status as of 9/13
'The project has started, and the development is in the 1st of three stages.'
egroups.com

And, of course, in the meantime, Quote.com's web site has been redesigned twice, once in late 1999 and more recently this past week. But a query to 'replace all QWST with Q for date < 20000101' just can't be done in that time.
