The thing I love doing is configuring chess books and engines with friends, so I need the hardware to back me up. Your point is unclear to me, I understand you think it's "not worth it" but then what is?? I bet you dont say this to people when they buy a car they really love, it's there passion and why they even bother getting money. Your basing your opinion on what you like.... people spend there money on what they like (not always of course) but mostly. And i also wanna kick some butt on pogo! Of course Mr Mike will have edges on me but i'll be a close second to him giving him a challenge. Mike I hope you understand nobody there is going to be able to beat you... may have to move onto playchess.com since nobody there will give you challenges!
