I do too, because my program in on the winning side. But between
programs, anything can happen... Wait and see...

Do you want to play a game Radio Shack 1650 against Tiger? I can set
something like 1 minute for the game (I cannot do less in fact), and you
just let run your RS computer 24 hours a day, just like Ed does with
Sargon...

Yes, I would like to see that. If anybody has their email adress, it
would be great to ask them to join us on this site. I'm sure that many
people would like to ask them some questions and thank them for their
great work. It would be a kind of "Tribute to the Spracklens".

Personnaly, I think they started everything for me with the famous
Sargon II program.
