Not again! Some time ago I wrote about my problems with opening an account with Datek. Eventually, all those problems were solved, and things were running smoothly .... for a few days.... and then this change takes place. Quite apart from my browser (Netscape 3.01 for HP/UX - don't have Netscape 4 yet) not working at all with some of the stuff (black text on black background is a bit hard to read), I am VERY displeased to see the increase in page-bloating graphics. I am coming in from across the Atlantic, and one of my primary reasons for switching to Datek was your speed - I couldn't care less whether your trades are $9,99 or $14, but whether I have to wait a few seconds or over a minute for a page to load matters a lot to me. I don't want to have to change brokers once again....
