I', sorry. I don't agree. I'm not saying people shouldn't buy Fritz 5. It's a
beautiful program with wonderful features (if it worked as it should). I'm just
saying that maybe you should be carefyull to try it out on you machine and check
and see if it will work fine or not, because at least in my case it hasen't.

As to bugs.. would you buy a wonderfull teeshirt with some tiny holes near the
neck part or at the bottom, where the shirt is usually tucked into the pants?
Would you consider these to be "minor" defects (because the are not visble to
other people.. at least not always) or wouldnt you rather decide against buy
that specific item because, on the whole, it is not acceptable?

I'm still waiting for an answer from chessbase on the defect I have experienced
with their program (this is day 5 if i'm not wrong). Let's see if their custumer
service has bugs as well.
