Dear Fernando,

It is a great bargain but I am not sure that Ed and Christophe want to give it
away.  If the cost of living is going up then why do the price of chess programs
always have to go down?   I know--COMPETITION.  I think that setting the price
on these programs is just as difficult as beta testing.

Remember when we used to pay $150.00 US for a little program on a single floppy?
This new Rebel 11 will pretty much fill up the whole CD with data.  That is one
thing that you get with Rebel programs.

Life is short so therefore buy the latest chess program,
