Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Maybe in your household.

In mine, the wife says "The two of us in London? Sure!" and makes the travel
reservations immediately on the Internet, regardless of price, distance in the
future, etc.

All I can do is sit around and mope about the toys I cannot buy and the credit
cards I now have to pay off.

KarinsDad :)

PS. To keep this on topic, my program now works with Winboard (basic commands).
However, using Winboard was a great way to find about a dozen bugs and to find
out that my program wants to play a game of "take it" instead of chess. Sigh.
