I'm also sad that you have had such bad luck:( You went way out of your way to help and I appreciate it very much! I am well aware that you are not in any way shape or form a part of Gambit-Soft or connected with them commercially! Ed saw my letter I posted in CTF last Dec. and e-mailed me, and offered me a Rebel product. I've kept this to myself as I was uncertain how Ed would feel, but I believe it can't hurt Ed, actually I think it puts Ed in a very good light for people who wouldn't have known otherwise. Chessbase is number one in overall sales and choice of selection, but no one comes close to Ed as being so interested in the customer and computerchess overall! Best Regards, Terry McCracken
