With all the new low cost, low power, low voltage, low heat, high  MIPS xscale
processors, Movag and Saitek could be putting out a much product right now.

The also need to upgrade their programs with the current crop of high end
programs.  The two best candidate programs for utilizing one of these x-scale
processors in a wood unit would be Genius or Hiarcs since Richard and Mark have
already optimized their chess code for the xscale processor.

Still Hopeful Regards,

Michael
