IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PC-QUOTE USAGE

Since its release, Personal Stock Monitor has been using PC
Quote as the default quote server, because PC Quote was one
of the first and the best.  All these months later, with the
growing popularity of PSM, PC Quote has been seeing the load
on their servers rise to levels which are seriously impeding
performance for all users.

As shipped, PSM sets the automatic updates interval at
fifteen minutes, but some people have been setting their
intervals to zero in order to get quicker notification of
changes.  This amounts to abuse of the services PC Quote is
providing to the Internet community.

PC Quote is being very reasonable by not shutting off access
to PSM users, which they can easily do.  They have requested
that you IMMEDIATELY SET YOUR UPDATE INTERVAL TO A MINIMUM
OF FIVE MINUTES in order to ease the load on their servers.
If this is not done immediately, you RISK LOSING ACCESS TO
PC QUOTE for yourself and all PSM users.  This applies for
both delayed and Real-Time users.

v1.3.3 of the PSM software has only one change from v1.3.2,
and that change is one which enforces this five minute
restriction for all symbol updates from PC Quote servers.

v2.0 of the PSM software has been changed to use the PC
Quote MarketSmart Delayed server, which is a password-
protected server.  You can get a free user name and password
by going to http://www.pcquote.com, and signing up for
MarketSmart Delayed.  This change is by request of PC Quote
administration, and allows them to better track their server
usage.
