But suppose you need the extensive data in real time? This is very
important, and does NOT fit an "external data" model!

One way to do it is to add on RT data to stored data, and plot the
entire series. But, since they could not get a good server working,
this is probably way beyond their capabilities. :-) Besides, isn't
that what TS2k is supposed to do?

By keeping their data CLOSED, they have *never* addressed an extremely
important part of the problem - data management. With an open model,
this could have been working smoothly many years ago.

It seems most replies are STILL focusing on the data problem, which is
NOT solved with the TS6 approach.
