Dear Larry:
For the price we should not ask for more. In any afternoon or "happy hour" with
the friends in a bar I -"we", I presume- expend a lot more and just for getting
a headache. Not to mention what you expend if the afternoon or night if it is
expended with the sweet company of a girl friend. I, for my part, am prepared to
purchase everything new without more agonic thoughts about what I already have:
I will get F6, J6, Century, whatever. Even just the act to receive the new
package is worth the money. Not that I have not met  a match for me: I did
several years ago, as almost all people here has done, if we are honest enough
to say it. So I do not care about engine strenght, but about the frills. Why
not? For an amateur to play chess is a lot more that just to play chess; is a
ceremony where the thrill of lights, sounds, boards, games, advices, etc are
esential. Then, I have my budget ready to oblige. Long life for our genuses in
chess programming, but for that we must open the wallet....
Cheers
Fernando
