Those are not just 3 programs, they are co-favourites >with chances to win. no personal insults harald :-)) i think that rebel is maybe not yet ready to participate. today the version came from alpha into beta stage. i doubt that it would be a good idea to participate. also ed said he does not want to do competition anymore. he wants to work out of competition. i think a good idea to become creative... this way you are not forced to release anything. and you can concentrate on more important stuff. family e.g. with tiger, i am not sure if christophe believes he has made enough progress to have big chances. for hiarcs i see it different. IMO hiarcs could try, but maybe mark is not satisfied with his progress too. whatever. it will be interesting anyway. and i think all 3 programs WILL make progress. Its not important WHEN they make progress. maybe one month after maastricht they jump with a new version. and kill the winner of maastricht ? history would repeat. as 1981. sci sys mark 5 was beaten by mephisto. >Even if they'd participate, they'd have no chance to WIN and I would cut my hair >1mm long in case one of them would win. ooops. a skin head harald faber :-))) >Tiger, yes. ;-) >Seriously: Imagine a soccer wch without Argentina, Brasil, England, Ireland, >Italy, Cameroon. Does not mater because there are dozens of other countries >playing for the title?? You must be joking. maybe he IS joking. whatever. today we are all americans :-))
