you should stop and switch paths..

seeing how you are not already tied to the schackles of Fritz,Cmaster,etcetc
now is your chance my boy
now is a golden opportunnity for you to first explore the world of Dedicated
computers
after you acquire a deep knowledge of the old computers,then and only then
should you concern yourself with the PC silicon monsters that frequent this site
go to this site and click around a bit:
www.schachcomputer.at

it's  in German but you can front load it with the Google translation bar and
you will get a very good idea of whats going on

oh..by any chance,,if i may ask you...
were either or both of your parents chessplayers?
if so,perhaps they might have an old dedicated chess  computer stored away in
the old attic or basement?

perhaps a quiet stroll through the house one afternoon when they are not at home
would prove informative

if you find one..please email me at addy above

Best
Steve
