These were marvels back in the day. Everything from spot gold prices to an expat job board. It was a news and research clearing house. It calculated accrued income on fixed income securities, it had real-time quotes and trading.

This was in the infancy of electronic trading, too. The FIX standards were still being negotiated and deployed. Broadband didn’t really exist reliably.

Truly remarkable for their time.
