I doubt very much if such a thing should become an issue. I also own my own house but would have no problem with a Habitat for Humanity home being built next to mine or even moving into one. >what this has to do with Rybka i dont know After the lawyers cost the homeowners $73,000.87 to keep the Habitat for Humanity home out of their neighborhood, they could no longer afford the $25 for ChessMaster, so they had to download Rybka instead. I should have used the cat story instead. My best friend in High School (Alan Endres) had a sister named Julie who wanted a cat. "Great!" I said, "My sister's cat just had a litter of kittens. She'll give you one for free." "No," she said, "I want one that costs a lot of money!" "OK," I replied. "She'll charge you for it." There. Chess' freeware mystery explained.
