if you are talking about the WCCC, never fear...I'll do my best to have
an entry ready and I'll be there, because these events are only 5 rounds
with 2 on the weekend.

If you are talking about the WMCCC event, more than one cpu is not legal
so parallel search is out, but I'll certainly bug dec to get the latest and
baddest alpha.. :)

(or Intel, should they do something comparable, or HP or MIPS or you-name-
it.  :)  )
