I think the ratings are more or less random for computers. They jump up and down a lot and they can vary according to time controls, and who you choose to play. There aren't many humans at the upper end of the rating scale in standard, and those that do exist often turn out to be computers anyway. If someone was running something on a > 300 mhz machine, and tended to stick around 2400 in standard, I'd guess they were either pretty unlucky, an inexperienced operator, or not running one of the better programs. bruce
