Subject: Chess Without Computers . . . Is that possible???

Here is a sobering thought:

In less than the span of a human lifetime [!!!!], humanity has gone from a life
without any computers to what we have today.  Where I live, computers are
everywhere.

If extraterrestrial aliens were to come here and immediately take all our
computers, it would be worse than if all the nuclear bombs exploded all at once.
 Like a thousand volcanoes.  Governments would collapse and there would be chaos
in all of the "developed" nations.

And yet, chess programmers take this stuff in stride as if it were always this
way.

Just an old guy's perspective.  : )
