That's not the real problem IMO. The real problem is that there is no glory in
defeating, let alone losing to, a computer program, no matter which hardware and
software is used. If I were to advise the new Brain Games Network whether to
include computer programs or not, I would recommend them not to bother doing
something that silly. Unfortunately, they might do it for the money, which is a
sad development.

Best wishes...
