Well said, it is only a short matter of time, clever programming, and a little more machine power. This should be a fun match. On a personal note, I am getting ready for oral defense of my PhD and may have time to enjoy this match, I should be done in January 2002. Just thought I would break the silence and say hi and happy holidays. Best Regards, Chris Carson
