Lei,

>POCKET FRITZ with a cd-rom just cost $25 ,

I have never seen Pocket Frutz for this price - I thought it was ~€50 (~$50).
As for the CD this is commercial suicide IMO.

>why chesstiger for palm cost $30 ?? really too expensive
>when the price down to 20 or less ,  I will order the software key ..

An odd reaction IMO.  What's so magical about $20?  I assume that if Christophe
did reduce the price there would be people who would say the new price is still
too expensive and want it reduced further.  Ten years ago you would have had to
pay $100 for a decent PC chess program - I wish you still did - which would mean
that there is more money in computer chess (I think the price is inelastic) and
there would be more professinal programmers!!

Regards,

Steve
