Chess is about all that I use a computer for, other than looking at this bulletin board. I HATE [I know, you're not supposed to let yourself hate anything] having to wait for Fritz to finish evaluating a position. Money is not everything. Give me the chess computer I want, and I'll part with the money without regrets. Why give it all to my heirs? No! I want to "spend my children's inheritance" now, and get something I can enjoy for it. Let them fend for themselves! Give me my dream chess computer! Bob D. P.S. Never heard of that Turrett fellow. Did he play chess? Bob D.
