I have no problems purchasing any chess program from Mr Lang.  His programs have
provided me with so much chess enjoyment, that he deserves every penny from me.
His latest version is very tough on a Dell Axim.  I have two wins so far, but
both wins are repeated attempts at the same opening(two different openings - one
is Caro-Kann with a variation that similar to the Blackmar-Diemar Gambit and the
other is a King's Gambit.). That;s how I like to play these machine - the same
line over and over until I get the win - then I move to the next line.

I'm starting to agree with you -- it does not give these units justice by
calling them a PDA.
