Seems that the medical surveillance here in Europe is better than in the Staates. ;-) - Andreas PS: As far as DB2 is concerned, it was really a great piece of chip i think. The program itself i don't know, it never interested me much. It's good IBM does something more useful now by running the Blue Gene project.

I mean, the way that this discussions take on CCC, in five years we will discuss if Deep Blue ever existed or if it's only a tale.
