2. This setup already includes newest AmiQuote 1.94 so there is no need to install it separately.
3. If you are using Firewall you may need to check if it did not block Broker.EXE file after upgrade. (It happened to some users that firewall blocked AmiBroker after upgrade and they could not connect to RT data sources)
4. For those who don’t read release notes or instructions - you should really read them, but in case you ‘forgot’ here is one important note for you:
   Window->New and Window->New Linked menus have been moved to File-> New->Default Chart and File->New->Linked Chart menus.

I really enjoyed 2007 AmiBroker conference in Houston organized by FTMonitor. Great atmosphere, great people, valuable presentations, lots of good ideas floating around. Not to forget a couple of decent restaurants we visited :-). Thank you to all participants and speakers and big thanks to Richard for organization of this event.

Check out soon ftmonitor.com site for Camtasia recordings of all presentations.

AmiBroker.com's own presentation in PowerPoint format is available for download here: New features in AmiBroker 4.90.
