Mr. Burcham, I have been in WhiteRock, British Columbia, Canada until the 25th of this month on personal business. Nice trip. I even got to play chess against Rebel 8 on my old 25 Mhz 80386 with 8 Mbytes of RAM. Too slow. I think a Palm Computer with Chess Tiger would be much better. The Palm Pilot is a useful tool for business and in science but it is still a toy compared to our best PCs. Nothing less than a laptop should be used for serious pursuits. Funny thing...we went to the moon and the transistor was invented by guys using slide rules. Tim Frohlick On July 29, 2001 at 18:53:46, K.
