Are you talking about ssdf?  I don't think it's a matter of Junior falling at
all, probably more a matter of what games got played & how the programs get
paired up.  I'm sure Junior is as good as it ever was, I've considered buying
Junior, I might do it _this_ century, maybe not, who knows.  But I doubt if I'd
let ssdf influence me.
