pretty straight forward

oddly enough even though most collector's will rate the SS at about 2150 Elo
i think it plays unusually well against other dedicated computers
i have pitted the SS now against the Tasc R30 and Tasc R40 in 4 games(2 each)
time control..Game\30min
SS has all four wins

 Was it a missed opportunity?
for me,no
if you are going to compare it to the myriad of Pocket PC'S or Palm Pilots then
it cant compare in terms of graphics , but i am just happy that there is at
least ONE company(Novag..aka Perfect Technologies)that is still trying to make a
decent dedicated computer
