Talk about intimidation! Equis International, MetaStock's publisher, not only sends out the book and
the program, they send you a 10-page letter, single-spaced and double-sided, listing features and
improvements in the program before you. You're in awe before you install. How many guys slave away
over this thing night and day?
Keep in mind that you're hearing this from someone who just last month drooled over Dow Jones's new
version of Market Analyzer Plus. I figured MetaStock was going to take its lumps this time around and
I'd have to eat my previous #1 rating. Well, life is more complicated than that.
