Hey Anthony, Yes, I agree. It's a fairly amazing time and if the early results hold up very impressive. *And* it gives me hope since Rybka was roughly at Djinn's level just a year ago! ;-) Actually, Vasik has always had an interesting take on things. Do a CCC search on his name and peruse his old messages. The seeds were definitely there and it looks like he found the time to let them germinate. best, --tom On December 05, 2005 at 14:57:45, Zappa wrote: >1. Rybka is amazing.
