The GUI (the program as opposed to the engine) is the same for Junior, Fritz,
Nimzo99, and Hiarcs. If it said Fritz then that was certainly an oversight, but
a minor one. As for the rest, well, it never would have occured to me to drown
the program in Clorox. If it survived, you might then consider putting it in the
toaster. I'm pretty sure that will do the trick.

P.S. There is an alternative solution (though not nearly as interesting as
melting the damn thing's plastic guts) consisting of turning the talk off.
