Sometimes I feel a little bit like Frankenstein. In the beginning I wanted my
program to be at least a challenge for me. Now it just crushes me.
You would say, "hey it's natural, when you began programming, computers were
much slower".
Well, even on my slowest computer here (an old 386sx 20MHz), Tiger crushes me.
Even if I am allowed to think much longer.
That's not a way to measure Tiger's strength, of course. Just a way to realize
how weak I am.
Actually, you don't need to be in the encyclopedias to beat a guy that is in
these encyclopedias... :)
