Of course I understand all of that.  I also agree with all of the above.  I'm
still disappointed!  It's a great program and I'm anxious to see it in full
strength.  That's all.  Not really complaining about the delay except that I
want it now. :-)  Actually I'm stuck in the house with a bad back at the moment
and wanted something new to play with.  I'm still running games with the early
versions and Rybka it's doing pretty well.  Playing without an opening book it
is only lagging behind Fruit and Toga slightly.  Playing with Fritz 8 book it is
above both easily.
