Vincent, you have a good sense for the needs of the non-technical user. For a techie like you (and me), that's rare. There are literally hundreds of millions of reasonably smart humans who could benefit from technology (computers and other stuff too) but only if it's made less "technical." In a place as highly techie as a computer chess forum, such humans are generally underrepresented, to say the least. I think you have a very perceptive take on this issue.
