Subject: gambits vs. computerchess

I am about the FIDE 2275 chess rating at present. I was wondering is it cool to
play gambits against the likes of Hiarcs, Fritz, and ChessTiger. The chess
visionary (late) IM Ken Smith said that gambits is a necessary evil when playing
top echelon chess. But I don't have the fight in me to venture a gambit since I
saw a band of galloping horses so I assume that I was in for a race.
The last time I saw Ken's "Chess Improvement Course" he recommended that you
have a dozen gambits in your shirt-pocket if you know what I mean. Thoughts and
opinions would be appreciated on this topic.
