No kidding.  For the next ten years the speed of every computer they release
will be express in integer multiples of Deep Blue.

And the wire services will continue to pick up their produce announcements,
because they perceive that the public is interested in Deep Blue.  They would
not be interested in the dry technical details that would comprise these
announcements if Deep Blue hadn't existed.
