Go up one level in this thread



you are one of the few here that i always read their posts, because:::

your profile says you are or have been 2245 FIDE,
you post often, and seem intelligent. you give a human analysis to
some test positions, sometime.

this is a chess computer forum that you frequent, so you must be a
chess program enthusiast.

do you have a pc? what mhz?  are you disabled? have you experienced
some long term misfortune that has caused you to be unemployed?
where you in a car accident when you were young, and now you live with
your parents on a farm, and all the livestock have died?
did your house burn down, and you lost everything, including years worth
of chess programs? are you blind and you are waiting for a cd to be released
in braille? did you loose both hands in vietnam and cannot use a keyboard,
why not voice recognition for your programs?

i for one would be willing to contribute to a fund, to purchase you one of
the top programs, if you are down on your luck. i do not understand how you
can live without the pleasure of owning a program. we must get this chess
enthusiast a program. if the pc is the problem, i have an old 200 mhz in the
attic that i can send you.

you saying you dont own a program reminds me of an experience i had.

i was working construction, welding back then.
it was always a hot job. a group of these guys would go to a bar
after work and tell jokes, and lie a lot. it was fun. lots of laughs.
i never started drinking when i was young. so when i got older i would
always drink a coke or water when everyone else was trying to get their buzz.
i didnt need a buzz, i just enjoyed being with my work friends, and listening
to their jokes. but on somedays when it was really hot, and the beer was ice
cold, i would drink a beer. but never more than one, and usually didnt finish
that one.
so---this guy that used to drink a lot, told me that he found it offensive
that i could come down there to the bar, have fun, and not drink.
