TESTER
Yes I believe for beginning investors or traders MS is a great
product,also to do Technical analysis by hand MS is great (if you don't
botherthe crashes now an then by moving some object). But ones you
want to dosome real advanced system testing then you are left with one
hand onyour back.M.-----Original Message-----From: <A
