RE JBOH system stability/crashes, one of our field operatives reports:

"Hey Auric,

Regarding JBOH- I am thinking this may be a good case to anticipate "sell on the news" about the earnings... so I will be watching and waiting to see when they are going to announce.

I just applied for an account at JBoxford- i wanted to see how long it takes them to get back to me, and what sort of thing I get in the mail... probably silly and irrelevant.

I also peeped the code on their web page that takes the info-- they left the Javascript source hanging out for all to see. Not professional code, or it was slapped together in a hurry.

I see they are using NT server, from a .asp call which is IIS (nt server) specific. So... good luck to any brokerage with a history like this one developing software on Windows NT. NT- security holes up the wazoo, and it really won't scale up!

What a shockingly bad company!"
