Subject: Computer trouble and the starting position

I've been having the oddest problem today.  My computer is emitting a loud whine
- except when _both_ processors are running.  Occaisionally one of the monitors
flicks off as well, although that has only happened twice.  I'm hoping it is the
power supply (which seems to be the part emitting the whine), rather than the
more expensive motherboard, but we'll see.

I have been running Zappa in the background to keep the noise to a minimum (god
I wish I knew why that works), so here is the analysis of the intial position to
18 ply with singular extensions ;)  If I could only get 18 ply in games . . .

1. e2-e4 e7-e5 2. Ng1-f3 Nb8-c6 3. Nb1-c3 Ng8-f6 4. Bf1-b5 a7-a6 5. Bb5xc6
d7xc6[S] 6. Nf3xe5 Nf6xe4 7. Nc3xe4 Qd8-d5 8. Ke1-g1 Qd5xe5
 = (0.13)       Depth: 18/39    00:57:13.53     4129997kN (1203 KN/s, 8181
splits, 530 aborts)
