Subject: CM7000 Revisited

After further thought, there were one or two interesting things about CM7000 so
I re-installed it on the weekend and spent several hours with it.

I'm afraid I have to say that I actually do like it a little better than CM6000.
I like the database openings user interface and format better.

Installation went fine with no problems at all.

I have noticed only two small bugs.

1. I sometimes cannot enter the database from the icon strip at the left of the
screen. When I try it takes me to a blank screen. I must go back to the main
screen and click on it there.

2. Sometimes the Visual Thinking display leaves extra pieces on the board.

One thing that I have noticed which I don't understand and is a major pain is
that the database seems to take 3 or 4 times longer than CM600 to search for a
position. It  has only about 9% more games than CM6000. Any ideas?

I havn't had time for a though comparison of the tutorials. Has anyone compared
the tutorials from CM6000 to CM7000 yet? What's your opinion?
