If Shredder or any other software product is sold out it is rather easy to produce more CDs. This has been done before and will be done if all Shredders are sold. I have just tried to visit www.computerchess.com, no problems from my computer. I have no idea why your attempt failed. Just try "http://www.computerchess.com". Shredder3 sales will be continued and there will also be a successor with the Shredder GUI. I still don't know where this all started. Stefan
