Richard's statement must be seen in comparative way, not in 'absolute' ways in which one doesn't take into account hardware. Obviously if you double on computerspeed something is gonna lose harder whether it used to be 50 points for each doubling in speed or whether it's is getting less and less points (which i tend to believe as it's easy to bugfix the first 1000 blunders, after that it gets harder). This whole discussion doesn't make sense. It's about genius getting beaten by other progs nowadays whereas the domination of genius some 10 years ago is something probably no one will be able to ever repeat. Vincent
