SH> paul, what's your problem with capitalization????????? i've better things 

All-uppercase text is difficult to read.  I'm not exactly sure
why, but I think it is because we are used to seeing words as
pictures, and we normally see them in lowercase.  Maybe also
the whitespace helps.  Also, uppercase is used for emphasis or
yelling, quite inappropriate here unless you're giving sell
orders?  :-)

SH> to do with my time on line than worry about such things...now to the point, 
SH> i live in sydney and uploaded the ascii data to the two best bbs' for stock 
SH> investors in australia, namely the melb pcug on 03 6996611 - you must be a 
SH> member, and peter cooney's financial markets bbs on 03 5325754. peter 

Would you be able to upload them to me, 02-436-1785?

SH> provides an EXCELLENT (sorry for the capitalization!!!) service for gratis 
SH> and, you'll be ecstatic to know, i've uploaded two HUGE zipped files 

My BBS is also available for FREQ from anyone at all for free.

SH> usstock1.zip and usstock2.zip they contain what you have requested in zip 

It wasn't me that was requesting the us stock info.  And especially
I wasn't after it loaded to Melbourne!

SH> format. BTW i am afraid to say that sydney lags centuries behind melbourne 
SH> in the provision of bbs facilities to those of us who either invest or 
SH> track/chart overseas and australian stocks/shares. as to your beef about 

Like I say, whatever info you can provide, I can make available
for free.  I currently have a file called SHARES.ZIP which is
50k in size and has monthly info for a variety of stocks 
(specifically ones that I was thinking of buying).

SH> the cost et al all i can say is TRUST ME there is NO other service as cheap 
SH> for what you get as almax, teletext is a useless joke and what's the 

What's wrong with teletext?  And when I'm only interested in the
historical info for interest/background I'm not willing to pay a
single cent for it!

SH> problem anyway it's tax deductible (almax i mean). i'm also afraid the 

It depends.  If you have 100 Pacific Dunlop shares which you bought
for $2.70 each, you'll be hard pressed trying to claim anything as
a tax deduction.

SH> whole ineternet bizzo is a bit of a wank, after all why fart arse around 
SH> surfing for snippets when i know what i want where i can get it and what to 

I chased up the internet stuff and was unable to find the
mythical web page.  Someone who uses the internet is chasing it
up for me.  BFN.  Paul.
