Hi Terry,
  Why not address your comment to Jaak Kuningas who started this thread saying
"The best firm for computerchess fans that I can recommend to all", which is a
lot stronger than my "We have no shop dedication."

Gambitsoft Website was off the air for about 8 weeks & has been back for about a
week.  Obviously something was wrong.
