TR- I don't know if you tried changing to a different server when you are having trouble connecting or a painfully-slow connection. I have had it happen where a particular server gets busy when I am entering an order(INCREDIBLY frustrating waiting and waiting wondering what lame price I'll get). In those situations, I discovered that if I open another browser window and log in to another server and enter my order again and get confirmed before I get the "Confirm/Abandon" screen up on the first order. I believe there are 20 servers, if one is slow, don't waste your time, chances are the is a faster one. Sometimes I have to try 5 or 6 until I get a fast one. Actually, last year there was a server that was not activated by the home page, which was used very little (I pryed this info out of my rep). They don't have that server set the same way and I think the home page goes to all servers now. Good luck. Todd PS There have been MANY times I felt exactly like you and wanted some way to vent. Feel free to express yourself. BTW, I didn't know we could trade pennies though the web. Thanks for the info.
