After you digest that, then some computer program like Snowie (Best, expensive) or Gnu or Jellyfish to really learn that computers are, for all practical purposes, the best at backgammon.(i.e.: Computers dominate all but the very best of opponents).

Really? I don't think there is any proof that Snowie is better than GNU, it might even be that GNU are better than Snowie. And GNU is an ever evolving program, while Snowie 4 already are a few years old. So if Snowie is better than GNU(which i doubt), GNU will probably become better than GNU in the future.
True if you are really serious about getting VERY good at backgammon you will want to use both Snowie and GNU. But for everybody else i don't think it is worth buying Snowie.


I don't see any reason for using Jellyfish, the other free alternative GNU, is clearly better.
