For me its pointless to worry about this issue because it isn't yet an 
issue. My hope is that they have designed TS Pro in such a way that future 
enhancements can be migrated to the TS2000i product - but even if that's 
not in the cards I'm not sure how important that really is.
Since the key potential destabilizing events - (a) the introduction of 
Windows 2000; (b) decimalization for the stock folks - have now passed and 
users are successfully using the software, it seems to me that even if they 
decide not to further enhance the product, it will have a good number of 
years of life ahead of it so long as data vendor support is there.
And aside from a potential consolidation or reduction in the number of data 
vendors, I would think that firms like DBC/eSignal and perhaps PCQuote , 
Dynastore/Quote.com would find the existing 2000i user base as large enough 
target market to continue to support us.
Best regards,
Michael
