Yes Komputer Korner, I did.  I was/am hoping to stimulate some discussion about
this program, as I am (like quite a few other's), tired of the hundred's of post
just about CM6000.  I'd like to see more discussions of all the other programs
out there, especially the one's we don't hear too much about.  Chess Acadamy for
example, (read your review on this one two!), has an interesting web page that
offer's/promises a lot, the product seems to be at a good price, but yours is
about the only review I've seen of it.  Does no one else have this program,
and/or want to talk about.

Finally, though I like and appreciate your reviews very much, you are too much
an expert! at times for my taste, & I want to see the considered thoughts of
chess players/addicts (Yeah, I know, there is no one like me:)), like myself, on
programs I am thinking about.  Oh, and believe it or not, I do have some (small,
it is true), self-control, about what programs I'm going to buy!  After all, the
money all runs out...
