Yeah, why the hell would anyone pay $100 for a chess program?!?!?! Just download
the stupid thing. Man, I got Shredder 3 & 4, Fritz 6, Hiarcs 732, Junior 5,
Rebel Century, Nimzo 99, and Genius6.5. all those for free. Now that is a deal!
But if you are like most and you would rather waste money I think $100 is to
much. $50-60 Max. I mean you could like get 2 Quake 3's for $100!!!!
You people are getting ripped off man.
Peace,
Mike Hunt hehehehe
