Nearly forgot:

A great chess computer needs a great SCREENSAVER. Not because your screen NEEDS
SAVING -- NO!! Because you are, above all else, a HUMAN.

You don't need a pretty photo of a bird, mansion, skyline, or even fish, for
gosh sake.

You computer needs to be studying molecules to help fight CANCER in it's spare
time. It only will use SPARE time - won't impact your chess play one bit.

You can sign up lots of places - storagereview.com has a link for this.

Chess programs come and go, but working at curing cancer is the coolest thing
you can spend spare CPU time on, any day.
