I miss the TASC Smart board.  That was great hooked into the TASC program.  It
could also be hooked up to Chessica (and others?), out of the back of the unit.
I played it at Yasser's company at Inside Chess, before he closed the retail
store.  I was told Tasc had good sale of this, especially to Airline Pilots, but
I couldn't afford - It retailed at around $500.00 dollars for the board, and
another $500.00 or more for the dedicated unit.  Still, I miss it, and am sorry
they don't produce it anymore (maybe I could have saved for it?!), Anyway, are
there any boards anywhere as good - I mean, with the L.E.D.'s on the squares,
and such?
