Hi Chris: There are not dead products as much there are customers interested in putting a hand into them. I have every top-notch chess software available, including yours, and nevertheless I will be, probably, one of the guys that will get the Star thing. Why? maybe you will ask. Well, call it idiocy if you want, but we are not only chess guys, but collectors and children with a bias towards flashy, new material things. The pleasure that a new machine can give with its own phisical design, pieces, smell, lights, wood or plastic surfaces, etc, all the sensory experience I mean, surpasses any thing that a new software can give to us running once again in the same computer and in the same screen with almost always the same ugly or uninteresting flat square with the same buttons, graphics, etc. Chess is not only playing chess, I guess. My very best Fernando
