I am not sure about it. I suspect that it is possible to get an old PC+ chess program in lower price. There are a lot of old 486's that nobody use and I beleive that you can get them for free or almost for free. The top programs on 486 are better than the dedicated computers. <snipped> 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. If you want to give a gift for someone than a combo of 486 that you do not need and a chess program may be better. Uri
