Obviously!
I wanted to bring attention to whatever it is that made Junior very tough for
Shredder, which must have been a strength in Junior which was exploiting a
(minor) weakness in Shredder.
And did Fruit do something towards this end?
And will Shredder 10 repair this "weakness" (as I have asked about before).
