Even though it is true, I don't mind. I got the new Millenium Genius today. Now, I only got to look at it for about 10 minutes. (I forgot to put it on my hard drive), before I packed it up for my move back to NY. It has an even better look (no surprise), the opening book is very large. (I'll investigate this more in a couple of weeks), and when the Genius6 finally does come out eventually, it will be free, (if you are right G.Mueller). I have faith that when Richard Lang does get it out, it will be quite worth the wait! I also want to thank Richard Lang for the excellent (personal), technical support he provided to me about 5 years ago. When I sent back Chess Genius2, because I lost the tokens, he quickly returned a refreshed disk to me, no questions asked. I know that most of you here are a very demanding group in what you expect in an upgrade, but I find the improvements quite acceptable for the price, especially after buying Junior5 as an upgrade, and then Fritz5.32 as an upgrade for about $40 each, =$80 for ensentially the same interface. Yes, no one has to tell me. I know I'm nuts:) mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict! On December 21, 1998 at 15:47:22, G.Mueller wrote: >On December 21, 1998 at 14:24:13, Lawrence S.
