Chuck,

how would you compare your service to PC Quote?
I am only interested in quotes, and level 2 market makers.

It appears your service would run me approx. $158 monthly, whereas PC Quote is asking me for $330 monthly.

that's a big difference.

Chuck, OKAY time for some complaints/suggestions (g).
.
THE COMPLAINT
I've been on for maybe 2 months now, and I am SICK AND TIRED OF WAITING FOR OTC-BB information!!!!
.
Somehow I got the idea "later in June" was the time to expect to see OTC-BB. With the BIG NEW SOFTWARE ROLL-OUT, ROLL-UP set for next week, we still don't have Bulletin Board information!!!

A SUGGESTION
THE PROBLEM
When I exit/close a screen/window you automatically ask me if I "want to save MSFT". That's nice, EXCEPT "EVERYTHING" is called "MSFT". The Level 2 window, the time of sales, the chart, the other chart, the fundamentals window, etc.
.
DITTO for the Alt-W feature where you list all the windows that got hidden behind the main quote screen. I get a list of umpteen "MSFTs", all named the same so I need to click each one to find the one I want.
.
THE SOLUTION
have the system NEVER name a window the same as any existing OPEN window, OR archived format on the hard disk. The naming should give a clue as to what type of window it is. Maybe MSFT-NL05 (nasdaq level 2), MSFT-TS01 (time/sales), etc.
