Are you saying that you don't understand my point about the difference between a downloadable demo and having to order it and then send it back? Or are you saying that a non-customer, finding the QP2 site, would rather order and pay for it,than download a free demo to try out? I never used QP1, but QP2 came on two CD's. That would be quite abit of material to download. As long as you get your money back, what is the problem? --- webb blackman ---

Doubt that you among the convincible, Ron, but a couple of points nevertheless. -Most TA demos work with, at best, a snapshot of a canned list at some [now very stale] prior time. Good way to get you to buy the real product in order to see what your stock is doing now! -Gary opened an interesting new path with the QP1 demo -- limit the list but allow daily updates. Two downers for this approach are: -the need to maintain two separate download lists [and the possibility that the free bunch will grab enough bandwidth to slow down paying customers]. -freeloaders may deem 100 stocks more than enough and never buy. I believe that the gorilla, MStk, long ago dropped its demo in favor of a reasonable return policy. Didn't catch your background; can I assume it's not marketing or finance?
