well you know i am only one of the 25 owners of the Resurrection
others will be testing very heavily with many different computers and especially
the R30
however i am the only owner of both the R40(Strongest dedicated computer ever
released)and the Resurrection
I will play a 10 game match(Game /30 min)
i will report the results here and on Kurts site
this together with other results will enable the claim of "Strongest Dedicated
Computer"

for me personally i have mixed emotions and i am not so sure how "eager" i am
as there are only 5 known R40'S in working order today this is a very rare and
valuable computer
once the title passes hands i think the R40 could lose much of its value
however having the title passed is a tremendous historical event and this is
more important then my  net worth going down
:))

it is exciting times for collectors of dedicated computers and we have Ruud
Martin the inventor of the Resurrection to thank for this

not to mention the 4 program authors who have agreed to allow their programs to
be incorporated into the Resurrection

btw..another claim will also pass hands
namely the Res will now be the computer to have the most engines
before this the Fidelity Elite Premiere held this claim with two engines

truly amazing times

Best
Steve
