I think the word "sucks", although a good, vigorous American English word (and with no similarly terse equivalent in English English) caused some offence to people who spend a lot of time and effort on their programs and think "who ever put up a statue to a critic?" (Sibelius' words, not mine). I share your pain, though, about obsession with the latest output from the silicon factories; I have no time for the "I smashed my Athlon XP 3000+ with a sledgehammer because the Athlon XP 3200+ is 'best for chess'" point of view. But chess is most certainly not my life ;) Alastair
