I don't understand why the SSDF is playing a 20 MHz Palm program against 200MHz
computers.  Especially when there is such a clear stratification of processor
speeds on the rating list.  Wouldn't people be more interested in results
against dedicated chess computers with similar processor speeds?  Aren't matches
with opponents roughly equal in strength also more likely to give statistically
significant results?

I want to see matches against the dedicateds at bottom of the list:

TASC R30 v. 2.5 (2274)
Meph Genius 68 030 33 MHz (2195)
Berlin Pro 68 020 24 MHz (2125)
Atlanta    SH7000 20 MHz (2089)
Sapphire II  (2009)
