Sorry, but I have very little patience with whiners. A character flaw among
several others.

A smart guy also dismisses opinions void of constructive critiscism. My advice
would be to install Gandalf under CM8000 (example), play a few games and makes
notes about the aspects that you dislike. Annotate the games, add the notes and
send them to the author. That's infinitely better than writing "I don't like its
style". Is the whole unsubstantiated and substantiated opinion difference
starting to make sense?

No, just not a constructive opinion useful to others than yourself.

Wouldn't it be easier if you started a partition for better hardware awareness
instead. Aah, that awful sarcasm rearing its ugly head again.
