I totaly disagree. Chess programs like CM6000 are clearly in the <50$ range but are on the shelves everyware. I think others can try the same. For people not using internet it is complicate to buy Fritz. And I even doubt they know about many programs, like Rebel, which are not widely distributed. I think that as long prorgammers are going to follow only a niche of top players, they are also going to share this few customers and make smallr margins (due to the larger offer). So the only solution I see is to get in touch with some big distributors. I'd love to find Rebel on each shelves in PC shops. ~100 DM is a reasonable price for a pc game, so why not going after the huge market of PC game funs. Andnobody prevents developers to go on making a better software, may be they'll have to put in some exrta multimedia stuff, but this shouldn't hurt the quality of the rest. regards Franz
