Don't do this mistake! More people we have here more it is enjoyable. You are
going to the best version. Have the courage to be good before becoming genious.

I read the description of how to make Heiner solver but, at the end, I thought
that he explained how to make working Chest on UNIX. Do you use Chest on Windows
base, or not?

If you have the money, it is good. I don't think right now even about much
slower. Last time when I was in trouble with my computer, I stayed out of touch
with real world for two long weeks. Recession! Bright time will come when the
recession will be over and 64 bits computer accessible. Then exciting time of
code writing will be back again.

Cheers,
Leonid.
