John,

Give them a break.  If they want to feel superior to Hiarcs 8.0 then that is
great.  I will let you know how badly it beats me when I get my copy in another
week.

I will be playing it on an AMD 1400 Mhz with 512 MB DDR RAM.  This is the
minimum configuration for new machines. I usually avoid anti-computer play
because it is a crashing bore.  It reminds me of boxing with leather head
protectors for only three rounds or playing baseball with a nerf ball.
