"They" try to do whatever possible to disallow any kind of tech innovation that has the potential to provide a fresh restart and some hope to the game. Following this approach only will accelerate the decline of the game as it results to a very "hostile" environment for the younger generation who expect something above excel spreadsheets and twentieth century dinosaur "programs" like those that so often are mentioned here in PA!

Why don't you write the killer 21st century "program" and lead us out of the dark ages?
Better yet, post some picks for a while, blow us all away, and show us how it really can be.
My point? If you're going to take a dump on "20th century dinosaur" programs, at least point to some examples of what could be.
This program handycapper isn't some genius bit of coding. Chart parsers have been around in one form or another forever...nothing all that original there.
If someone is in such dire straits that they can't afford data files or the DRF, they probably shouldn't be betting in the first place. Agree?
