If you want to do something very special in life, better NOT to have a family. There are exceptions, of course: Mozart, Bach, Haydn in music, several other in paintings and sciences, but the rule is there: the time, effort and stamina expended in raising a Family at the very least sucks a big shunk of energy for anything else. There is something else with respect to chess programming; the increasing imposib ility to make business with it -at least for a long time, not just for a couple of months- is only a foretaste of what is coming in many other areas of business, commercial enterprises, economy in general. To put is in one simple and clear line: profit economy is being demolished step by step by the sheer developpment of technology. For any new product or service that involves high technology and capital and that so gives, for a time, some monopoly and high profits, there are hundred of things produced at one cent the ton in any coin of the world with a commodity-technology. The arrival of China is making clear this. In software that trend is even faster and deeper as much you does not need big capital to developp 99.99% of the products. Karl Marx predictions will be probed right at the end: profit economy does not fit with higher and higher availability of productive capital. Profit economy has a rol in an intermediate phase of dvevelopment of industry, commerce, etc. That phase is being surpassed by now, I believe. My best Fernando
