You mean the "old" version? Yes, me. You want to buy it? :-)

I never use(d) tutorials.
Overall..hmmm... I neither like this program nor I dislike it.
The board/optics is OK but the usability is a bit strange. Several functions you
expect to be in some menus aren't there but in another. Some functions don't do
what they are expected for, e.g. analysis.
Another non-ideal solution is the database and opening book handling. You really
have to search and investigate how some things work. For me it was annoying so
that it is back in the box and not used since months. And for the moment I must
say I have no interests in buying CSTal2.
