The correct thought process here is to get busy converting your program to run on big hardware, and to start getting connected with hardware vendors who might donate computer time in exchange for some advertising/publicity. That's how the big hardware programmers work. In the real world, nobody is going to care about your current line of thinking. In the real world, results count, and excuses don't. Parrallel is the future of computer chess. Go with the future and eschew the destructive thought processes that don't generate productive activity. :) If you'll just get on with it, you will succeed. You've shown that you can. > > >> >>My best, >> >>Ed
