People not involved in chess sometimes look upon a great Palm chess program as being one of the lowliest little gadgets anyone could think of, and certainly a most obvious one. But the greatest of handheld programs (soon to be Christophes upcoming Palm program maximised for about 400Mhz (Arm).Is probably far far greater in all its aspects than all the great famous old computers of the 1970's and perhaps of some from the 1980's. More recent too, but of those, the Palm would CRUSH them in every game. We should be happy not to be paying ten million dollars for a recent Palm with best program in a few months from now, maybe now too. Not more than one person should also have the privelage of having one! Not to speak of things like Shredder 7.04 on 3Ghz Athlon, which is almost nothing today. Who wouldn't have paid alot in the early 1980's for a pocket world champion? ANY millionaire who understood what it is would have paid $100,000 guranteed! One who didn't understand what it is would never even agree to keep it out of the garbage (as far as the chess is concerned) for one second! It's sometimes hard to explain this to people, I mean to the type who want it in the garbage. I sound to them like a real baby, and all their opinion of me goes down the drain! S.Taylor
