appro: any idea how long the "free" quotes have been available or whether anyone has used them for a while? I may just be paranoid about all the new fangled web stuff, but I tend to get a little concerned and suspicious when something is represented as free and then I am required to execute an agreement that says nothing about being free, references another agreement (the NASDAQ Consolidated Subscriber Agreement) that I have to verify has not in any way been modified and, in fact, contains language saying that I may have to pay. The language that seems to suggest that I can be charged is: "Subscriber shall assume full and complete responsibility for the payment of any taxes, charges or assessments imposed on Subscriber or Nasdaq (except for U.S. federal, state, or local income taxes, if any, imposed on Nasdaq) by any foreign or domestic national, state, provincial or local governmental bodies, or subdivisions thereof, and any penalties or interest, relating to the provision of the Information to Subscriber." I may just be paranoid or I may not fully understand, but I don't like writing what appears to be a blank check. If, in fact, they ARE free they would make a great backup source of quotes.....but I still wonder why nothing in the "Agreement" says they are free... Troy
