Yes, I'd like to see News email alerts too! I've been pushing for this. Hope to have it in the next release. Jeff's story of the Dow dropping 70 points and being alerted on his phone before can get out the door is great - I've told that to many people here at DBC... I've been running the Online products under Windows 98 at home. We've also tested it on a number of machines at work. Haven't had any problems. Its a little bit faster, noticeable upon start up and shut down. Got an @home cable modem two weeks ago. Love it! Can download Stockedge in 5 seconds vs. 30 minutes on MSN.
