Good explanation, Steve. Now, tell us why Omega fell through on its promise
to existing clients to provide SP6 for TS2Ki. As you and Omega are very
aware, TS2Ki is full of bugs that make it iffy at best as an intraday
trading platform, yet it is still being sold in Europe by Omega's reps. Do
these new European clients realize that SP5 is incomplete and TS2Ki will
never be completed? Is this just bait and switch to lure them into signing
on for TS6? How about all us clients Omega has lost because they have not
been, shall we say, reliable? Does Omega care that we will never sign up
for TS6 until TS2Ki is finished as promised by them?
