Yeah, I've been taking a vacation from computer chess.  I tend to get really
absorbed by it for 3-4 month periods, followed by a "burnout" period where I
have no interest in it whatsoever.  I've learned not to fight these mood swings
- when the passion returns, I'll be back...  :-)

I'm still on ICC quite a bit - but it seems like channel 64 is pretty quiet
lately.

As for James, I have no idea what he's up to - haven't talked to him in a couple
of months...
