Just give away your old computers and chess programs to some kid and then buy the biggest, meanest and most sophisticated system for yourself. I do this all the time. I have given away at least two fully functioning computers and hundreds of dollars worth of chess and astronomy programs. The original intent of the communication was for us to keep on buying these programs so that we can keep the ball rolling. Inserting ones' personal ideology on giving to the poor really was not even mentioned by me and it was an affront to me and others. It basically says,"You are a self-centered !@#$% who, instead of thinking of yourself should instead give that money to the poor." You have no business telling me or Fernando or anybody that we must give away our hard-earned money.. Nuts to that!! Tim Frohlick
