I say there should be about 3 patches like CM6K for them to finally get it right. But on the other hand they are already putting this in priority status for the bugs. So my guess is that once they get the patch to make the program run well then they will forget about any of the finer details and leave it at that. Mindscape does not seem to be commited to chess anymore. And I just love the way they seem to know the program is not perfect but we will fix a few things and will wait, if no more complaints come in then this will be the first and last patch for CM7K. They do not want to risk tossing in more things. I accept that, if they made such a mess of the program I do not trust them to add anythig new, let alone fix what they have. And maybe you could ask them if when they say still testing it, testing to see if the patch actually runs. Cause the so called development team seem to develope but not test what they develope. I hope you pass my comments onto the developement team to show how pissed I still am at them for stuffing up my computer. I can only hope and prey that the developement team is only worried about the patch cause they are a new development team cause the others were given the boot for their failure to deliver a product of value. And that they need time to sort out the mess from the old under development team. I just question the quality of the company who can release a program with so many bugs. All programs have bugs, but there is a limit to the acceptable amounts. John cause you work for Midscape or matel, this is not a comment against you, that is unless you programmed CM7K or was a person in charge who allowed this to be realeased, then it is. :)
