Well, maybe so, but you could be pleasantly surprised, you know.  In any case, I
am sure that there are many here who DO want to hear about chess being played on
large computers, so I hope you will continue providing technical inputs on that
topic.

It would be interesting to know how many people here at CCC have worked or
currently work on very large computers.  My guess is that there are a few.  Not
long ago, someone posted the web address of a website which described the 200
largest computers worldwide.  I wonder whether or not anybody here has worked on
one of these.

I retired ten years ago, May 3, 1994, and feel that I am a better man for it.
Retirement does not mean death.
