No but at the same time I don't have to put up with buggy software. SCID is
pretty solid. That _can't_ be said for Chessbase items.

I did order the ChessBase 9 Starter package about 20 minutes ago. I couldn't
justify spending close to $500 CDN on a database program, so the mega pack was
out of the question. The starter package after conversion fees will cost me
about $230 CDN...

I checked into the light version, and you are correct. It is an older version,
and I don't think it would have given me the right impression regarding the
value of the software.
