PCA, in Jan. '96: We lost our main sponsor, Intel.
It was reported that Kasparov said this was partly due to his choice to play a match vs IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue.
He disputes this, claiming that Intel dropped them in Nov '95, weeks prior to the Deep Blue match planning.

The Professional Chess Association (PCA), which existed between 1993 and 1996, was a rival organization to FIDE, the International Chess Federation.
It was created in 1993 by Garry Kasparov and Nigel Short for the marketing and organization of their Chess World Championship.

@Pontifex The gift card satellite was down and I had no other way of paying so they had to toss my food out, 2x (I am homeless, unemployed, in poverty so that wasn't good...)

@Pontifex By the way, I have been "briefly menaced" scores of times over the past 18 years while trying to make purchases at cash registers.
- Touch screen doesn't respond to my touch
- Being charged for more than what I swiped at self checkout
- Reloadable bus pass was reduced to zero

@Pontifex "The Internet and satellite payment systems have worked so well so far. Not only is it more work for me when customers pay cash, I am losing the motivation to be well-prepared for their purchases."

[Stephanie W. Michaelson @DiamondRioOhMe]

@Pontifex Please carefully consider these opinions:

"Because my govt contains no duress, corruption, denial, ignorance, or incompetence, there is no way that a cashless society is dangerous. Of course there are no hacks or missiles that could interfere w/ our ability to make purchases."

@realDonaldTrump The slippery slope of mayhem has begun, because this government no longer supports part of its currency.

(But if you complain about being repeatedly overcharged you are a trouble maker? ...wtf)

[Stephanie W. Michaelson @DiamondRioOhMe]

@realDonaldTrump Saying that the penny no longer matters is like saying:
"Stop being so anal/exacting"

"You are soo picky-allow me to overcharge you" (but electronic purchasers are treated fairly)

"Stop nickel and dime-ing me. It's approximately what I said you owed me for my product/service"
