Some like to claim they wrote a 'new' program. Others like to claim they are on weak hardware. After watching thousands of games played by crafty, I can pretty well tell if you are on a 486/66 or a PII/550, after a couple of games if not sooner. Why folks feel this need to 'exaggerate negatively' is beyond me... IE I could see a program author doing this to make his program appear to be better than it really is, but someone that bought the computer _and_ software, and then saying they are on a P5/166? The net brings out some strange cases at times..
