Weird that they don't sell S5 seperated. Either you buy all the crap or nothing. I had thrown away all my old genius disks so no 'update' price either. What i would like to know is what kind of winboard commands it ships that people get so excited here. What are the *exact* commands it ships? I mean posts like: "clearing hashtable" that's bullshit. You can only clear hashtable if a programmer has implemented that command to a command that you know!
