Not that it wasnt strong to begin >with. >:))) Pareto principle, you will waste a lot of time if you try to get more old games, as you have most of them already. The ones you haven't got may not be worth getting or they would have been there to be got already. I suggest patients (Sp??) now, and that you get each week's TWIC http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twic.html games. Here you'll be getting ultra-up-to-date games, probably 98% of all worthwhile games, and (I dunno) 60-80% of all reasonable games. PS. I'm keeping your EMail address & in 2005, when storage & speed have grown, I'll be offerring you real Aussie money for a copy of your database. Regards Mate Tina Long
