I just saw an ad this weekend for the new Sony SUPER PORTABLE computer. I am totally amazed with the new technology! Here are just some of the specifications:

Processor Class: Intel Core Solo
Intel Model: U1400
Processor Speed: 1.2 GHz
Installed Memory: 1 GB
Memory Technology: DDR2
System Bus Speed: 533 MHz
System Chipset: Intel 945GMS Express

These are not PDAs. They are powerful portable computers. How will this affect the chess cheating problem with new super computers the size of our hands?
