internet chess servers

ever wondered how computers can get 3600 blitz rating on ICC ?
well we all know of course, they don't play other computers,
have !computer in their formula, and play only humans.

And then the ratings on ICC are calculated differently

also more realistic values for these stupid chips..

Any other experiences with comps; on
playchess.com or so ? just wondering..
