I suppose it could get confusing with several programs out there with "Deep" as
part of their names.  Seems to be a case of mistaken identity here, and he may
have been thinking of Deep Thought.

If there was an actual downloadable version of Deep Blue for the PC, I'm sure I
would have downloaded it by now, even if it wasn't even close to strength.  But
I don't think anybody should expect something like that to get released.
Realistically, it would be no simple task making it work on PCs, and it would
probably get hack butchered in the process.

I think people should consider Deep Blue unobtainable and let it go at that, it
was never meant for public release.
