Positive comments? Ok.... here we go:

If I have to say, my answer is that CM7000 it is better then CM6000.
Better for me as a user:

1) I have not find any serious bugs this far. Just those usual ones in
tutorials. Maybe there is still something bad to discover, but this far OK.

2) After some days of use, I like CM7000's interface more than that of CM6000.
It has everything required for "chess playing family" now.
As for me, I like this division by rooms - it resembles my chess club, "Riga
Chess School", a lot ;-)

3)Now, when I have discovered for me how to handle epd pos and fen files, this
is not a problem any more. (See my message about Thoughts, tips and
work-arounds).

4) No more "I am the next Fischer" problem.

5)Separate Player statistics for Bullet, Blitz and Standard.

In a couple of words: I see that Mindscape team has done a lot to make a good
chess program for a whole family. This is done nicely. If I have not read about
Michael's problems, I would say it is great, right on the target, chess product.
And I still say it is great as it revives my desire to improve my own chess.

Still I am looking for the upgrade, from good to perfect. ;-)
