I agree - especially considering I bought a $1500 Vancouver program in a wooden
autosensor board back in 1990.  It was then described as a 'Monster' yet the
processor was approximately equivalent to the one in the Palm!

I guess in 15 years time people will look down their noses (English expression
for snobbery) at the 4 GHz PDA that are on then on the market, dismissing them
as 'food mixer' type processors.

Oh well, the Vancouver gave me a good wipping as does Tiger and Genius - I'm
happy!!  I would also point out to people that IMO you *play* more chess with a
PDA while you *analysis* more with PCs (what's the point of playing Tiger on the
PC?).

Of course this is just my opinion!

Regards,

Steve
