thanks, folks for the comments larson's review kinda freaked me out, but I know no other similar service, which would be competetive price-wise, so I'll try them. Thanks again
by the way, I heard stockcharts.com is about to launch a real-time version as well. dunno any details, tho
....If you're looking for basic charting at a reasonable price, think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Larson is WAY off base. BSAM
Stock charts "Realtime" are simply snap shots that have to be refreshed manually whenever you want a current price.
