Actually, Dann, I do have 2 machines, but dedicating both of them to playing winboard matches seems wasteful. I typically use one machine for running Winboard matches, and another for development. When I'm not using the development machine, it's usually running test suites, or playing games on ICC. It's not worth tying up both machines just to play a 'ponder=on' winboard match, especially since I have seen *NO* real evidence that the 'ponder=off' matches produce signficantly different results. --Peter
