After a 25 year hiatus from chess I too am in the process of acquiring all this
new software.  About the same time I was learning chess, I was also on two
wheelers.  I started on an Indian Warrior and have since moved over to a "Rice
Burner".  But those Harley's really sound nice.  Not anything like the Fritz or
Shredder 4 comments that I get while I am playing.
