Shredder has shown itself to be a great program. And no high price hardware
needed.

Hydra's power seems more driven by hardware speed and the hardware itself. Where
Shredder is a great program. Result is Shredder is on par with Hydra running on
off the self CPU's. A great advantage for the consumer and to chess.

Thank You.

BTW a Pocket PC version of Shredder 9 would be great also...:)
