I'm very impressed to hear your opinions. Maybe you can pinpoint many cases to
illustrate it all. It would follow, then, that whoever had the opinion about
Hiarcs 8.0 being a "must", even if it doesn't come top, because of some great
understanding it has, would be beaten even on that count by Junior.
 In that case, if you want to see greatness, and you want one (more) program,
get Junior, and DON'T get Hiarcs? Maybe!
 However, we all know that if you want results, you get Fritz. And even Tiger is
above Junior in results.
 I would really be happiest if they both came together! (greatness and results)
