Not true It was in demo mode only after move 24.  Tiger was down between -4 and
-9 in the 3 games that my student played it, before it went into dmo mode.  Now
it is true that the palm was not overclocked and had a tigermark of 0.49 it is
up to 1.12 now that it has afterburner on - we will see if the results improve.
