Dear Fernando, As I sit listening to that oldie song, "I'll be with you in apple blossom time" I also realize that being over fifty has both blessings and curses. We both long for a return of our youthful vigor and mental powers. Such is not to be. For us, it is a constant parade of stronger and stronger chess programs and computers as we ourselves disintegrate. Well, I guess we will become the fertilizer for the new crop of orchids/ apple blossoms. By the way, Junior 6.0x on an AMD 450 Mhz is only a shadow of the Deep Junior that is playing currently. Just like us compared to the way we were. As long as your wife and children love you then you are getting better not older.
