Yep, that's me. Sick ol' Albert. In case you hadn't noticed, all I said was it
was wrong to assume it had been overclocked to 150 extra Mhz, and that you might
not have been getting the best of Tiger. My proposal to get in touch with Lex,
wasn't because I thought the games had NO value, but to guarantee the best
conditions so as to make it more interesting. What happens if someone begins
saying that Tiger was handicapped in those games? It will be hard to refute the
argument, and will cast a shadow on the results. Better to make sure that can't
happen, don't you agree?
