Fernando, I'm glad you have finally seen the light regarding chess software programs. they tweak the earlier version slightly, and a couple of pretty piece sets, a nice design on the cover, and we suckers rush out and pay our "only $50, for God's sake". A chess retailer I spoke to the other week keeps tabs on these chessbase guys. Programs from earlier years are constantly having their ratings lowered to make way for the new versions. A chess software program only has value while it's the current version. When it's outdated, it becomes a worthless disc, filed away with all the others. A dedicated chess computer is different, especially if it's one of the whiz-bang wooden ones. It's forever, a physical object to enjoy in your late years, and a conversation piece. regards Lin
