But you know, _I_ don't have a 32bit Chessbase interface, and I don't see a problem at all with my not being able to have a free copy of Fritz 6, there's too much good free stuff that I _can_ get, so I can't understand why people think they should be able to have _anything_ they want for free downloads.
