Go up one level in this thread


As I understand it, Bionic and Voyager are both Crafty clones...I imagine Bob
knows his program better than anyone else, and can improve it faster than anyone
one else.

As for WBNimzo...I see no reason whatsoever to throw good money at this thing,
assuming this is the retail version. Anyone know? Perhaps it's been deliberately
dumbed down (my speculation, not fact) to prevent people from attach it to email
and sending it all over the world.
