I'm usually not too shy about asking to save the games when playing against the
humans - But this time I let them 'off the hook'.  Next time (probably Sunday),
I'll make sure I save after each match!  Actually, there is one game against Asa
that I'll post tomorrow. (after I retrieve it from the Notebook).  Note: I was
using the Millenium version of Shredder, which does not save the games
automatcally - Only the last game played, stays in memory.
