It seems that fabien is smarter than SMK not only in programming but also in making money and I guess that SMK could earn more money in case of using that idea. Note that there are exactly 3 computers that I practically use for analysis of my correspondence games(in part of the time) but only one of them is defined as my computer(the computer that I have at home). I hope that it is ok if I buy fruit and use fruit in all of them. Uri
