One way would be to play some games with Deep Blue and Deep Junior.  Guess that
would settle once and for all who is the strongest.  Or would it just pour fuel
on the **whos** best fire.  Put together the blue box and match it up.  After
all it did beat the best player in the world at that time!  The advert could be
quite powerful.  The machine that beat Kaspy goes for Junior. Methinks there
could be some money to be made here? So this may not happen, shame?
