Lee, I'm assuming that you're the person who answered my e-mail this morning, so you've already seen some of my reactions. Let me say here again publicly that I _very much_ appreciate the time and effort that you've put into this program. I have only used it for a few hours today, and find it a nice complement to WSX--different strengths and weaknesses. I'm also very sympathetic to the problem of your being drawn in to hard work for no compensation. Several friends have also had variations of this problem. At the same time I am a firm believer in "freeware" or "voluntary pay"-ware, for reasons that extend well beyond the scope of this thread. Thus, although I'm not sure how much I'll use this program or whether it will be supported like Terence's has been, I'd like to pay you something anyway. A question, for my benefit and for others on this thread who may be interested in helping you out. How much of the take from credit-card registration on your web site goes to _you_, rather than your transactions facilitator? If the vast bulk goes to you, I'll pay that way; if you get taken to the cleaner's, I'll go the trouble of sending a check (which will hopefully not get lost like the one to Terence did--thank you Chicago mail system.) BTW, welcome to SI. Here's to hoping you become a full member and start a thread devoted to your excellent little program. Thanks again, Dave

Dateker users beware your userName and password to Datek is not secure. If you are using "Dateker" and sharing a machine with someone know that your Datek userName and password are stored unencrypted in the registry. Do a registry search on Dateker and you will see how easy it is to gain access to someones account that uses Dateker. Great program Lee, I probably use their servers less that before because I get my quotes all at once and never use the auto refresh timer. I just click when I need to know. If I don't need the info I let it sit so as not to bog down their server.
