I and Tony have two each. These are paid entirely of us. I am not absolutely sure if it is 2 P200 and 2 AMD450 (upgraded old machines). >If the answer to 1) is yes, then > >2) Was the purchase of these machines sponsored by another organization? Not a single dollar, mark krona or whatever. The machines are paid from a small profit from the Ply magazine. We don´t have any money now so we have to pay some programs personally. So far most AMD results comes from me in example all Juniors games (450) I (we) choosed to play with the best placed programs at first. Now when we have more machines we can play some of the other programs. I guess that we had been more critizised if we started with number eight nine and ten.
