Very true! Low price signify sometime that special item reached mass production.
This is where compagny can make more money that anybody else. I think that
Chessmaster made already more money, before last low price, that any other chess
program ever did.

We still have too many programs (I do not speak about chess program) where price
is just too prohibitive. Spreading the CM6000 price on other programs could make
them more affordable and profitable for both sides. I hope that the next program
to reach CM6000 price will be Windows...
