Subject: My own PPC wishlist!

I don't know that Fruit and Toga will be stronger than PF2 on PPC, even though
the engines are stronger on the PC - it might depend on how well they have been
optimised to use the hardware.  It would be interesting to have some results,
but I don't know of any web page that compares them.  There's a comprehensive
review of programs at http://www.grailmaster.com/misc/chess/chess.html.

My own wish is that the database facilities are improved to take advantage of
the increasing RAM (e.g. 1GB SD Cards).  It would be good if you could open cbh
files in PF3, and replay games while reading the comments, selecting variations.
 Also the ability to browse opening books with stats.
