Hmmm yes maybe dreadful is a little too strong.  I don't like the GUI because it
just isn't anywhere close to a Windows standard.  It doesn't seem to have been
written to be used - more written to look flash.  For example the position setup
screen has not been well tought out and it is much slower to set up a position
in CM than sat Fritz.

Apparently it's much improved in CM7000.  Can't wait!

Couldn't agree more.  How anyone can muster the energy to complain about a
software package that cost <$30 is beyond me.
