Subject: Does a Deep Blue Junior Destroy the Chess Programs Market as we know it?

Say that Hsu is able to make a Deep Blue Junior card available for the average
PC-compatible computer for $200 (my assumption, not published info). Wouldn't
that destroy the market for the commericial programs? I mean, who is going to
want to pay $100 for Millenium or even $50 for Fritz when they can pay less than
the price of Chessbase and have something that could shred all but the top ten
grandmasters (and maybe those two) on their desktop? Since a single chess chip
slowed way, way down thumped two of the leading commercials, seems that this
will destory the careers of a lot of good programmers. Either that, or you'll be
able to buy Rebel for $20, and free shipping.
