Get real Jonas. Anytime someone domes on a board and says "Stop criticizing my
product, even if it is a rip-off, because it will cost me money" they should
expect to be hammered. (Take note: I'm not saying that this product is a
rip-off, just that that is the way it came out).

Personally, I think Ruffian is overpriced for a product that has not established
itself yet but that is his prerogative to charge whatever he wants. Unlike some
here, who buy every chess program, regardless of cost, I have to be a little
more selective and Frank's post has put me right off this program.
