No matter how many times I play my computer at chess, it kicks my butt every single time. I prefer the good 'ol Chessmaster 3000, when you could set it on the "novice" level (aka the computer plays like a drunken sailor who's only vaguely familiar with how to move a knight), thereby assuring yourself of a victory now and then. On my Mac, I only have two settings, "computer plays stronger," in which my assortment of royal pseudo-wooden pieces are massacred in the space of ten moves, and "computer plays faster," in which I last maybe 15 to 20 moves. I am still trying to find my inner prodigy, and it ain't Bobby Fisher.
In more positive news, my Mac's dictionary has the words "snarky," "snark," "snarkiest," "fuckwit," "ass bandit," "bitch-slap," "wanker," and "wonky" in it. Such are the electronic joys that I discovery when I'm bored on a night flight to Austin.

What on EARTH are you doing with a Mac???? On the other hand, if a Mac's dictionary has "fuckwit," why am I not using one?
