It is *not* the ICCA that makes these rules of course... they were formulated by the participants over many years. You might also notice that the commercial programs *always* run on something faster than the base machine supplied for the event. So I have no idea who you are criticizing here, just don't criticize *me* for "following". Criticize Mark, Ed, Frans, et. al. Check out *their* machines in past events. Then you'll see why I think this is funny. Someone not knowing what is going on would get the impression that Bruce and I have started a technology war. We didn't *start* anything at all...
