Well, then you really are special!!

Call Schwab, Mr. Forsythe. Ask them if it's *possible* that it worked well for you all morning. CNBC reported that they had talked to a Schwab spokesperson who said that the system was down for 1/2 hour.

And, perhaps, it's just coincidence that several of us all choose the exact same time to log into this thread to complain?

Nah........
