So I need a very good reason to twist the arm of my common sense. > Someone said that there's not a dime's worth of difference between the top programs. If true, then having two of them working simultaneously will not produce a dime's worth of difference in their findings. May as well turn one of them off! But if the two programs are preset to think very differently [without diminishing the strength of either], then maybe there would be some benefit if the voting software on the third computer did not interfere with the workings of the two workers. In fact, maybe the third computer could be programmed to do something productive other than just being an arbiter. >Fernando
