Go up one level in this thread


I have no problem with windows, i have never experienced those chrashes that you
talk abou.

I never said that making money was natural by nature, i just stated that when
you are in buisness making money is a big part of it, infact that is why it is
called buisness. If it was not for the money part of it, we would not have as
strong chessprograms as we do now. If you do not like chessbase, microsoft etc.
then dont buy their products!! it's quite simple, we where all put on this earth
with free will and the option to choose, all the bitterness and resentment that
you seem to have against "capitalism" is your choise, but the concept was not
invented to piss you off so don't take it personal, and dont make statements
like you do without providing some kind of proof to back your statements up.

It seems your rigid state of mind would stop evulution if you had your way,
progress is progress and what you choose to do with it determines wheter it be
good or bad, when you fight it, it fights back and leaves you bitter, but when
you learn to use the best from it you develope a new tool called individuality.
Chessbase products are in my opinion very good and fairly bugfree, they provide
us with some of the strongest engines and IMO the best gui's i have never
experienced any problems with CB.

Have you ever heard of backing your system up??!!
DOS?? get with the program no pun intended.

I personally dont have any problem cooking natural cuisine style and as for
finding a fine resturant to treat my girlfriend with french, italian food etc.
is no problem either. No one can force you to buy microsoft, mcdonalds or
chessbase, but if you feel that they do the you have a problem, just like the
fish in a tank who does not choose what the owner feed you">if you cannot see
outside, a fish
>in a tank, not seeing the water (capitalism) and not capable to see out of the

I wish i was swimming in money, just imagine all the wonderful posiblillities if
you had as much money as gates.
