30,000? WOW ! Back then it was really a burden to enter chips too. And then the scans had to be a .bmp if I recall right. No built in reference db to use and screens were not like they are now. I can see why it would take so long to get in 17,000 chips.

There was also a program called checkmate back then too, which was lame. You couldn't change anything...you got what you got and that was it.

So...are you going back and rescanning those older scans yet? If you make a pact to finish rescanning everything before you die, you'll live to be 128!
