I am pretty sure we can agree that most of the entire population is not even
aware that computers can even play chess, that leaves those who do and out of
those only a very small percentage are into computer chess in such a way that
they would actually buy any chess related software and out of those most will
buy chessmaster and chessbase products, now out of those even familiar with the
program Diep as a chess program from the people left, only a few would be
interested in buying a DOS program since most run WinXP, linux or something
different, that leaves hardcore chess program fanatics with enough knowledge of
computer chess programs to even know of Diep, they would have to run Win98 or ME
and not know Vincent well enough to actually want to buy his product and it is
my conclusion that this potential costumer base mainly consists of readers of
this and a few other forums, which he has already said he refuses to sell to
because we are nerds. Now i base this on the above and the fact that i have come
to learn over time that VD is not the nicest person (that is my view).
Now what could you offer of info to prove me wrong?
