All of the above :) No seriously i would really find it too interesting to pass me by, i am sure that if someone is genius enough to come up with a compression technique that would allow us to use 32-peice TB's on today's hardware, would be genius enough to buy the rights himself (since it could be used for more than chess, ie. webdesign would be revolutionized) so i would just enjoy it and yes i would pay a LOT of money for them :) Regards Jonas
