After 4356470000 defeats to softwares since the existence of 500 Mhz computers or better and 1995 vintage or better software, I consider enough is enough. I can bear a defeat, two defeats, ten defeats, but not indefinite defeats. In exchange, how delicious to play a unit that can beat you but also can commit some mistakes and being beated by you! How pleasurable to take a real thing in your hands, put it in the desk, perhaps even use a chess clock and then go on without knowing in advance that you will be in tatters around mopve 30 and surely lost in move 40 at most. How delicious to be facing a machine that will be not ask you an upgrade every weeek in order to humiliate you faster! How nice to stay playing chess instead of looking programs playing chess! How easily you can get a cheap plastic unit or, if you please to do so, a rich, flavoured, tasty, expensive wood one! How wonderful is to be part of a shrinking but real comunity that talks of his real machines, make deals, sell or auction his, get spare parts, etc! BTW, any of you knows when Hiarcs 10 will be available? I almost cannot wait.... Fernando
