It seems that Chessmaster has put the bar down to the limbo line.  Can we really
crawl under without getting our hair in the dirt?

If it does Win32 and has improved database functions, I might be willing to pay
$400.  How's that for a painful price line?
;-)

Prices for any product are the answer to a differential eqution involving supply
and demand.  Too high a price will alienate customers.  Too low a price and you
lose potential profit.  The right balance is hard to find.

Price it however you like Ed/Christophe.  You know darn well that like a bunch
of crack heads we'll come straggling over with a fist full of money and wild
eyes begging for what you know we must have.

We'll be back for more too.  Like the junky said:
"The first try is one too many, and the last one is never enough."
