"I also let them know that their closing of the classic site is against the wishes of many customers, and that their allocation of IPO shares is a joke."

In regards to your recent email, we offer other alternatives for placing trades which were up and working the day that we had isolated* system access issues. As far as compensation, E*TRADE does not compensate for lost opportunities related to computer problems or failure as stated on page 7, section 35 of the Customer Agreement.
