Quite surprising, because:

The Shredder chess programs by Stefan Meyer-Kahlen have already won twelve titles as World Computer Chess Champion, are leading in all important computer chess rating lists and are accepted as the best chess programs for PCs.

:? :o

Something is wrong with the exchange rates on the order form,
US$60 is not $108 Australian!!!

Hehe, funny.
I think I will buy it if they tie/win against Rybka. I want to buy something, but I want a tactical engine. As far as I know, Zappa is one of the best attackers, is OK positionally and plays endgames good.
By the way, does Zappa use Nalimov tablebases or those compressed ones?

It is also not 108.53 Swiss Francs. I hope the program calculates better.

I'm surprised the engine is available prior the match against Rybka... This will make preparation much easier...
Do you know if the engine comes with a book?
