Hello, Sorry I don't know much about palm computers, but am I correct thinking that such things are not yet available? I'm interested in going through diagrams of a training CD while on the go. Thanks. Denis

Like ChessBase and Chess Assistant, the $199 Bookup 2000 Professional has always come on CD ROM. My excuse for not allowing it to be downloaded was its size. Enough customers with broadband complained (and I found an installer that gets it down to a single 39MB file) so for eleven days I let anyone who registered on bookup.com download the Pro version for $99.
