absolutely, i agree on both your points
If those programs were runing dual amd 2.56ghz overclocked chips with 2 gigs of
ram, and put them into Linares, we'd see some very dissappointed GM's,
especially if ya didn't tell them which program you were using

Man vs Machine, if for some reason df8 wasn't used, and they put another program
in, (dj8, or s8) and didn't tell him, i dont' think he would have won
