A.DEMAID  Of this type of program (not all-singing & -dancing) this is the only one that has worked well and consistently for me - I am based in Europe.

I had an early problem with the software not accepting the .L for the FTSE exchange but that has not recurred.

The choice of different data sources solves a lot of the problems that smaller company stocks can pose for US-centric programs.

Obviously there are features that one would like to see added, but this is not software for professional traders and it is competing with browser based services.

A.DEMAID  Performance on European share graphs is extraordinary whatever the data supplier chosen. Can start with a year's data, revert to a month's, end up showing no data (the usual default). Performance on US shares is fine. Tried deleting prefs. all the usual.

Feature is essentially useless.

A.DEMAID  Just paid the $15 and seen how much work has gone in. Ignore first comment about value for money - it's excellen.  
(Version 3.0.4)

A.DEMAID  Excellent software and the author answers technical queries.

Moved from Postfix Enabler in Sept. after asking "should I wait until there was a Leopard version". No answer so bought it anyway. Upgraded to Leopard in Nov. Tiger version doesn't work and there is no upgrade for recent purchasers. Hence value rating.

A.DEMAID  I have been satisfied with Heredis for years. Recently I decided to upgrade, but Digibuy does not recognise my input code (although they have my receipt details) and want to charge me VAT, although I live in a non-VAT area of Europe. Their replies are useless.

APAD  This software solves a major problem for people using work email systems from outside a firewall (we can get mail but not send mail). I have sent money (albeit not by paypal:-(). I have had a delay problem once (but not to a Windows NT system). All other communications to the same system have been quick. I seem to be able to send mail when not connected to the Web, which is something of a puzzle. Needless to say it is not received! I have been rejected by one system that does not accept dynamic ip addresses.

The more of this sort of stuff the merrier I say.
