I found no links to order products from him.  I experienced no java hi-jackings.

Most of the products are available here @ ICD.

My biggest question is why so many reviews on Excalibur products and none on
Novag or Saitek?  Novag and Saitik are clearly superior to Exclalibur  products
over all.

He also fails to mention that the latest version of Chess Genius runs 20x faster
on OS 5 ARM 400 Mhz machine - that should be at least 400 ELO points stronger
than the Genius on a old Palm running at 32 Mhz.

I believe technically his post falls within the CCC Charter as I cannot
determine that he is selling the products and I am not certain if he has a
financial relationship with anyone who does - his website is presented as a 3rd
party review.  But his post clearly looks like a spam post.

I am letting this post stay with reservations (I am not 100% convinced it is not
spam just not sure it is. ) - of course one of the other moderators could delete
it. Repeated posts with the same script may be treated differently.
