I'm sure you understand that we (me and the development team) never figured you were the "Number 1 enemy of Chessmaster". You WERE very unhappy with CM7000, and voiced your concerns, which were legitimate. Of course, every version of every program will always have detractors, but since you were previously a strong proponent of the Chessmaster series, it was a tough(er) pill to swallow. We STILL expect to hear from all sorts of people (including you, most likely) about things in CM8000 that (supposedly) don't work right or things that were left out or things that didn't need to be put in. You'd be SHOCKED at some of the e-mails the team receives. But, that's the software business.... Bring 'em on! jm
