I have spoken to OZSO in the past, he is on the computer list, not because he
applied for an account, but because he was caught illegitimately playing a
comp(CM5500) against unwarry opponents(fact not rumor).  He said he was running
a P400, but he seemed considerably lacking of computer knowledge and computer
chess.  No offense to OZSO, though i seriously doubt he reads here.  Though I
have both CM6000, and 5500, I haven't as yet come to conclusions about which is
stronger, all i can say now is that they both have spectacular styles,
especially using the Pilz/Luebke/Faber settings.
