I shall pick up the gauntlet!

I had the older Radio Shack 2150 L.   At this time my rating was about 1350, and
I had the following results:

Level 4:  50% wins
Level 5:  40% wins
Level 6:  33% wins
(very few draws)

Level 8 has been estimated to be about 1950 ELO.  The literature accompanying
the computer says 2150, but who really believes that?

It's almost anyones guess how much stronger the next version is.  BTW, I saw the
newer version on sale last week for about $60, quite a deal if I didn't already
move into the computer software scene.
