Thanks, Heiner!

As I could see you are a rich man. Was able to use one computer for stright 11
days. I must buy my next computer but can't do it now.

Five years ago I was leaving my 386 for some few weeks, for solving some forced
mate positions, but now it look like madness. 386 is too slow for use. I still
keep my old Toshiba in my room. Just can't throw it away.
