Sorry Vincent, et. al., your arguments are persuasive - but not enough. Everyone agrees that DB2 hardware is still untouchable, today. And the hardware was at least half of DB. Until and unless a program can (as did DB2), knock off the human chess champ, you're just spitting into the wind, guy. I'm very fresh out of time machines for comparisons of Lasker, McEnroe, Fischer, etc.. In my opinion, you could have saved all those key strokes. Interesting ideas? Sure, so is science fiction. Serving as a conduit to logical fact? Not hardly! NO computer program can claim to be better than DB2 (which remember is both hardware and software), until and unless it beats someone of Kasparov's caliber. No time machine, wooden rackets, analysis of Deep Thought games, etc., required. Either they whoop the human chess champion, or they should shut up about being better than DB2. Put up or shut up. Simple as that. David
