Your post looks to me just like another example of an arrogant
statement.
We don't have to learn swedish since chess and even computerchess is
multi-cultural and does not need a special language other than chess.

It should happen that people - without beeing members of ssdf - have
also known and had chess machines, more than ONE. And it should be
possible to know about dedicated machines without beeing swedish.
In one point you are right. Those days were easier because you never
heard about critics. I can only speak for the german freaks who started
from the very beginning. And I can tell you, without beeing
ssdf-members, they have also knowledge. people like Frickenschmidt,
Bauermeister, Pordzik, Tschoop, Ketterling, Leupold, Pilz, and and and
have never had any problems to know about dedicated machines or later,
software. Without beeing swedish or beeing member.
