Dear Jose,

Playing two programs on dissimilar computers is not like a one-armed boxer
against Mike Tyson.  It is more like an AK-47 against an Apache helicopter
gattling gun.  The AK-47 will lose almost certainly but then it just might get
lucky.  Just like Clint Eastwood saying, "Feeling lucky,PUNK!!!!"

If a program is well-written and is highly knowledge-based it will need a strong
processor.  It will win a certain amount of time on a slower one.

Respectfully,

Tim Frohlick
