Well, it was a very exciting game, especially listening to GM Alterman's live
commentary when he thought Junior was really in trouble. I understand why you
would want equal hardware. I hope that you are able to avoid being at a hardware
disadvantage next year. Falcon gave people enough problems as it was, with the
hardware disadvantage. Jonny is in the same boat. However, I'd rather see you
guys move up to match the superior hardware, instead of bringing them down to
match slower hardware. And it shouldn't be made a requirement which excludes a
legitimate contender like Brutus.
