For what, if even chessmaster 2100 running in a 286 can give me a good mauling from time to time. So the only good reason for just a faint spark of interest in that monster would be what you said about the voluptuous female opponent. But, how much voluptuous? With that processing power we should expect something much better that the lady of Ananova.com reading the news. I suppose that Demi Moore puting her clothes off with each half a point of score you can get over the program could be enough to become interested, but of course, in that case -half a point got by us- we never would see Demi doing something more voluptuous than what Margaret Thatcher does when sipping a cup of tea. Let us see what time and the market bring to us. After a life of hard work I have money to expend, thanks God. To lose 50 bucks in a bet or to purchase another program is like a drop of water in the ocean of my personal fortune ....Hmmmmmm Fernando
