Hi. There some reasons, I believe, to keep dedicated units with some market. First: you maybe want to give to your son a chess machine enough interesting and pretty to enthrall him and, at the same time, a lot cheaper than buying a PC and then a program. Besides, you avoid the kid at your side asking the computer where you are writting or playing or whatever. Second: If you want to give that kind of gift to someone else, the same argument apply: a decicated unit of, say, 100 bucks, is lot less that the combo PC+Program. Third: there is a charm in the object in itself than even matured players and amateurs and chess computer fans like us cannot avoid if we have a drop of blood in the system. There is an special magic in getting off the drawer the machine and prepare your self to play a real thing. In comparison, just to load a program in the PC is lot less interesting. I myself, owner of maybe 60 or 70 commercial program, I would not doubt a second to get a new machine if price and beauty and strenght are OK. Fernando
