Chris,

I hope these new machines can bag about 100 - 150 points ELO over their
predecessors. It's my feeling that at their current strength, the existing
products are not quite as attractive to better hobby players or lower graded
club players as they could be. I've avoided adding any Excaliburs to my
collection at present because they aren't quite competitive enough with my other
machines. I know Ron Nelson can write a good program - he just needs more
horsepower under the bonnet.
