Hi Bob--

I was making a bad pun based on Turrett's syndrome, which causes far worse
outbursts than smileys. I was going to put a smiley at the end but there were
already too many there. My original intent in posting was to question whether
you were serious about buying an $80,000 computer just to have it play chess.
Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Ok, I can't stay miserable for long...
