I am not involved in writing or selling CSTal !

I don't think this product is made for making money !

As I said, he is doing his holiday on hawaii trying to be a good
pearl-diver.
Of course they have internet access in hawaii too.

The problems of the TASC-board customers have more to do with TASC.
A pity, yes. But no chess-program-company can change these problems.

When I want to say to Detlef : fuck you ! , i will tell it to him.
Please don't read something in my answer that I have not said.
Please don't read the smileys as LAUGHING ABOUT HIM, I mainly use :-)
to show irony.

This is nice. Thats exactly the reason he invented the program. To show
different ideas and to open the discussion.

No problem ! I don't see your post negatively !
All I wanted to explain to Detlef was, that the theoretical way of
seeing the market-place germany has divided from reality !
In germany almost ANY company in the moment is working against the
german market laws ! The reason is the disastrous economical problems in
germany. Big computer companies like VOBIS and SCHADT do not have the
computers they advertise !
This is against the german law ! If you advertise a special product, you
are forced to have it in your shop ! If not , you are acting against the
german law.
Nobody is taking care because the economy is down.
