Some might tend to report things optimistically. IE "My program beat Deep Blue" when it should be "My program beat deep blue one game out of 23." Second, I doubt anyone would argue that with the current positive impression the general public has about the Deep Blue project, IBM would be foolish to do _anything_ to tarnish that image. When the "shine" wears off, DB might re- surface, I don't know. But at present, when you are on top, there is no need to return to the ring too quickly. > > > >Last Trade >Mar 29 · 95.04 Change >0.00 (0.00%) Prev Cls >95.04 Volume >0 Div Date >Mar 10 >Day's Range >0.00 - 0.00 Bid >N/A Ask >N/A Open >0.00 Avg Vol >9,203,545 Ex-Div >Feb 7 >52-week Range >80.0625 - 134.9375 Earn/Shr >4.44 P/E >21.41 Mkt Cap >167.3B Div/Shr >0.52 Yield >0.55
