Remember the good old days back in the 80's. In the beginning of the first computer programs they used to have a lot of Humans versus computers matches. But now with programs like Rybka 3, Naum, Shredder, Deep Sjeng, and Hiarcs, the competition is NOT interesting any more, since with Quad and Octo processors they have reached unbeatable status versus humans GM. But we need to have more matches with Handheld PC like PF4 vs strong human that know how to compete and play versus them. It is too bad that only Argentina is still helding these interesting matches.

... more matches with Handheld PC like PF4 vs strong human ...

Well known GMs may not compete against handhelds in the next 10 years because they fear humiliation.

You are correct, but at the moment PF4 is stronger than Deep Thought 00.2 was back in 1988. The progress of PF4 compensate for the processing power (720,000 chess positions per second) of Deep Thought
