Okey, skip the laws of Economics (supply and demand; willingness to pay;
consumer and supplier surplus etc.) for a while. Isn't there and old saying "the
consumer is always right"? Anyone who has ever thought of the meaning of this?

Well, let us put it this way: there is an old saying (of Economics of course...)
that goes something like "every unsatisfied costumer will share his thoughts
with 30 other persons". That is, he will tell his family and friends and they
will in their turn tell their family and friends etc.

Let's just say that Schröder better starts paying his customers back (those who
have already upgrade to Rebel 10 the first two weeks). If not, he will most
certainly be out of the market within a years time or so.

"The market has no memory" is an old rule for those who buy/sell shares on the
share market. Unfortunately all buyers of chess programs will remember
Schröder's handling of this price drop. If he not change his mind rather
quickly, that is...
