You know what, I was just over at the Chessbase site, and then the USA Chessbase
site too.  And I couldn't find the system requirements for their programs,
they've found a way to hide that info (Hey Steve Lopez, what gives?) so I don't
have any idea if I could use Junior on my old computer or not.  The cool thing
about the _old_ programs (that are all way stronger than me anyhow), is that
they _all_ run on my computer.
