_All_ of the above is _wrong_.  They played against a web-based program that
was not "deep blue" at all.  It was a demo machine set up for marketing demos
at the request (demand) of IBM marketing.  It had _nothing_ to do with a
potential commercial version, nor the version that played against Kasparov.

This was all covered here before, so I assume this is intended to be a troll?
