Subject: "No XP Compatible..." How that's Possible?

Dear Ed:
I have seen some adds about Rebel Century 4 where it is simply stated that the
program is not XP compatible. Not that it will be compatible or could be
compatible in a near future, but just "not compatible" . I understand from that
sentence you gave up the effort. How is that possible? XP is windows and windows
is the thing by now, like it or not. I upgrade to XP to get a better OS and so
is doing lot of people, including those that like to talk of how bad a guy Bill
has been. Surely people here in CCc is emigrating one by one to XP. We like to
talk of the old good days of DOS and we like to talk of Linux, but we stay stuck
with windows because we have hundreds of programs written in that code and so
on.
So, what I would like to see in your add is something like "we are working on
that, Century 4 will run in XP soon".
I repeat: I just cannot believe you could just drop the thing. I had thought in
purchasing it the same and run it in my old Armada 266 Mhz, but i changed my
mind and I will not. Why should I get an old and slow computer from a closet
just to play century?
So I say: Century 4 is not compatible with my list of chess purchases for the
time being.
My very best and sad regards
fernando
