For sure. Truth be known, I'm not in complete agreement with Bob's position anyway. I'm watching the commercial programs and others like Crafty play, and I think they're a bit closer than he says. I'm sure that with today's hardware, we've seen the computers go over the 2500 mark. Commercials like Junior mabye peaking up the top somewhere - hard to say exactly. 60/0 games aren't quite the test I think most of us are waiting for. >The tide wasn't in at the last Aegon (1997), even though some people were >starting to say that it was.
