Gordon,

I feel the same.  Previously, I waited until the "bug fixes" were available for
download before buying, but I found out some still remained, and some were only
cosmetic, some still were not corrected after a year, and some should have been
so fundamentally obvious to the professionals that it's really difficult to
understand how the got through.  So, what do we do?  Come here to find
solutions.  This forum has the best beta testers Chessbase ever had..........
