This is a good question.  Could it be the "real" server that sits under
Global Server?  With the change in strategy adopted by Omega, they are now
dependent upon the quality of the server on which their product is built.
DBC, DTN, etc.  Could the quality problems be related to the real server
that is collecting/storing the data?  Or with TS2K's interaction with that
server?

I was recently running some Excel optimzations in the background while
running TS4 charting in the foreground and Excel would usually crash after
about 2-3 minutes.  Yet I could leave the optimization running all weekend
with the server only.  It seems that Excel does not like to be starved for
CPU time.  Perhaps this is some interaction with NT COM subsystems.  All I
know is I have tried TS2K 4 or 5 times WITHOUT a real time feed and it
crashed on most of those occasions, once with a blue screen.  My systems
rarely crash otherwise.  And I haven't verifed it yet, but I believe the
bars displayed were not an accurate representation of the data I had
imported.

with win98 and ts whatever, such that some load and run it effortlessly
