Hi Larry,


You are totally correct sir.   You would of course charge as much as the market
would bear if you were the programmer.  I too grumble at paying top dollar but
then I remember when MChess cost us $149.00 from ICD--and we gladly paid it.

You are probably like me (you play chess a hell of a lot better than me however)
and will buy Christophes' program because it is one of the best out there.

You could of course donate a used Pentium III 500Mhz to Mr. Theron and he will
probably give you a couple or more "free" copies of Chess Tiger.

Seriously, Mr. Schroder is an astute businessman and knows that companies that
give away products do not survive.  Just look at AOL as an example.  They "give
away" free browsers and then charge $19.95 per month for  full time internet
time.  Sounds a bit like Rebel-Decade, don't it..?

Respectfully,

TJ Frohlick
