I also think that is perfectly fine for everybody to adopt the selling policy that they think will raise more profit. It's just fine. I was only wondering about the resoning behind selling everything in a single box, without polemic, seriously. I would expect shredder to sell much more if sold alone. ...and computerchess addicts would buy ChessGenius and Nimzo anyway, just to have the latest version :-) I hope Stefan got a good deal in the overall, but I don't want to know about it. The only think I can do as a potential customer is to email HCC, GambitSoft, and so on, asking for selling what I like better (e.g. shredder alone for a price comparable to Fritz). If they do not want to do it, no deal, and everybody is happy anyway. Paolo
