Extended trading - cutting down server congestion at market's open
and close.

Nasdaq is deliberately killing their business and overloading their order
processing hardware by deliberately competing with NYSE at 9:30 am ET
and 4 pm ET.

Fortunately Datek and the NYSE are trying to spread out the server loads
at open and close.

The Nasdaq and NASDR are too STUPID to figure this out and change their
trading hours to 9:30 am PT - 4:00 pm PT.

IMO, nick (a sleepy West coaster.. <g>)
