Nothing's more annoying than not being able to watch your stocks at the office because the internet police are out in full force! ESQuotes is your electronic counter measure by working through corporate firewalls using normal http protocol & ports. This simply means that ESQuotes looks like an ordinary browser by your computer, so ESQuotes can't be blocked without blocking all browsers. ESQuotes will hardly be noticed by the IS Police because it opens & closes the internet connection in less than 1 second for each batch of quotes. Multiple stock quotes are efficiently sent to the stock quote server. This keeps your Internet activity so minimal that the corporate internet police should never notice it at all, even if you quote every minute all day! While at work, ESQuotes quiety blends in with its surroundings, looking like an ordinary Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. HA! No one will know you're keeping track of your stocks (that is unless you tell them)! ESQuotes is quite happy at home over a dialup connection. Example workbooks show how to do it all! Spreadsheets are there for mutual fund research, new stock ideas.
