Well... that is a bit out of proportion i think, his posting is the result of
many hours of testing and a lot of money spend, the fact that he is kind enough
to share is just great, how he presents it, as long as it is readable to the
appropriate programs, does not really matter in view of his hard work and
dedication!

I already apologized for that.

Yes it will not win any prizes in a beauty contest :) althoug i think i can
remember some of the more knowledgable posters saying it is more functional.

>Sorry about associating you with Chessbase. That was too harsh on my part, but
>then again you were harsh on people with 56K modems.

The 56K modem referance was a joke, that's why i put a :) in front of my "tounge
in cheek" comment. I must admit though that i get amazed every time i meet
somone who still uses a 56K modem in times where i pay the equivalent of $50 per
month for my 2048K 24/7 ADSL connection, maybe it is just really cheap here in
Denmark i don't know.
