You think, maybe? ;)

I haven't tried FICS, so like many I suppose I use ICC because I stumbled on it
first. But I fail to see what could be wrong with Blitzin.  The chessboard looks
fine, the seek display is fine, and playing a game is quite comfortable.  What
else do I need?  Perhaps I need to check out FICS to see all the wonderful
GUIs??  I can't imagine something that is so much better that Blitzin would
fairly be called "putrid" by comparison.
