"Defending CM6K from all you mean people"?!?! My Gosh! You would think it was a
child! Wow! I would think that pointing out that CM is an excellent program for
children and novices which I wholeheartedly agree (my novice girlfriend and her
younger brother LOVE IT) is a compliment. CM probably makes more sales than all
other programs combined. Besides, Fritz is not 4 times more expensive anymore,
and CM6K wasn't available then. And the CM engine could kick most peoples asses,
and their personality features are amazing (for me). And the multimedia elements
help make chess more exciting to people who beforehand considered it a  dry
game. Even CM5K was very good (I own it). I traded CM6K, not because it was
poor, but because I prefered to have the Hiarcs engine in the Fritz GUI (and
some other other stuff I got for the trade). Besides, I had CM6K and will
probably purchase CM7K when they implement some of the features I like that
unfortunately it lacks (I won't go into it here).

Michael Cummings has mentioned before that he won't post in response to what HE
PERCIEVES to be attacks. Let's see if he can! ;) As I mentioned before, an
inanimate object like CM can't get offended. I wonder who really does? :)
