Peter: Before you pan that venerable old institution, Scientific American, you should go back to grade school and learn the basics === "encryptian", " retreiving". Give us a break!

Hi Peter, I've been a Datek customer for almost a year now--and very satisfied. However, today was horrible @ open & close -- shut out of all servers. I agree w/ The Vet--the problem traces back to Datek on this one. Please fix for tomorrow & tell us how this will be avoided in the future. Thanks, Greg

OFF TOPIC - 2) Scientific American has become a relatively low grade science journal. First it dropped printing equations, then it went for more and more pop-culture science, and now its a half step above Popular Science. I cancelled my subscription when i read an article about "Asbestos, that magic mineral". The latest example of that is the December issue, wherein they devote a whole article to attempts to extract "zero point" energy -- another name for a perpetual motion machine. Incidentally, SI lets you include much more HTML in your personal profile than it does in messages -- check out Member 3154410

Datek... Thank you. I don't know what you did but server response the last 2 days has been much better than the last 3 months. Keep improving the important things... BTW, I also would like to see B&A sizes on the quotes servers... J”hn
