Windows or other? (General)

? I was toying with the idea of converting the HGIYC articles to ChessBase
? instead (they have quite a neat question and answer capability), but this
? would tie us even more to Windows and ChessBase.

I'd just like to add my vote to moving away from the hgiyc software. See the previous forum disucssion on the fact that it uses 98% of your cpu even when doing nothing (look at tactica1.exe in task manager). Other problems are that it asks you questions about previous positions after a different move has already been played on the board, and it doesn't allow you any means of entering the additional points, so you have to record them manually anyway. might as well just use chessbase format.
