Alan, If you follow this list you must know that if a vendor spams it
then "the other side" will be brought up if there is one. I use
Dail/Data EOD and don't have any problem with it---except....I take
the viewpoint that there is NO technical support for it. This weekend
I was at a OptionStation 101 seminar in Fort Lauderdale and of course
the subject came up about which data vendors to use. I mentioned my
solution (just take the position there is no support) and four others
chimed in about how rude Dial/Data tech support had been to them. Not
just unhelpful but RUDE. Of course the others wanted to know why then
did we remain customers. The answer: Because it works seamlessly
with the Omega data CD equity updates--no other reason, like price,
accuracy, or excellent support. I would agree that this is not a
valid poll, but it is all we know about.
