Good free ISP - if you can minimize the adds. I hide them in the lower right hand corner where they are barely noticeable - good 56K connection always. netzero.net Yahoo and NetZero have figured out how to make their servers available - something Datek has NEVER figured out?? They have $300 million dollars to give Josh to fix the problem... but they NEVER will spend a penny on Datek's Windows 98 operating system running 2 dozen flaky Cyrix 300 MX II at $39 per node. Why do you keep bashing your head against the Datek wall every morning? <ggg> Datek's main focus is on Island and to challenge the NYSE/NASD structure... that's why the heavy hitter management types... get the investment capital. Datek's goal for online accounts (retail investors -US) is to supply FODDER for Island (i.e., liquidity). The more Datek Online customers displaying on Island the more business for Datek and their affiliated MM's. If Datek Online makes their servers available to US - they shoot themselves in the foot. They want their retails customers "Hung-out-to-dry!" at market open so that affiliates can CHERRY PICK!! Market open server capacity constraints are a DELIBERATE SYSTEM DESIGN!!! Of far more fundamental concern, and an out-right abuse of Constitutional powers, is the concerted and orchestrated theft by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) occurring in the Nasdaq Internet stock arena. Most of the stocks on Datek's "restricted" list can NOT be shorted - the Nasdaq is experiencing a healthy correction /w rotation and ALL retail investors are "LOCKED OUT!" This is theft from the "people" by our very own Government officials - Clinton, Ruben, Greenspan, and Arthur Levitt. Datek is only a pawn in this game - the rules and orders are coming directly out of Washington!!! Fifty percent of the trading game (shorting) has been BARRED to the retail public investor - now the broker-dealers, their trading desks (institutional investors), Nasdaq licensed traders, and MM's can steal all the money from the retail clients to pay back the Fed's Greenspan and Ruben for the numerous "bail-outs" of the running bull market during Clinton's tenure. Sure missed opportunities at market open are frustrating, but can be dealt with... the Government orchestrated theft through the SEC is fundamentally unconstitutional. No wonder the IRS is lightening-up - the SEC has taken over the IRS's job of robbing from the poor, honest, humble working man trying to eke out a living in the stock market! <ggg> Jeeesssss - you'd think the government wanted us to get a job and be crooks like "THEM!!" http://3483916810/nickn7/kn.htm
