As many already indicated - been there, done that in terms of dedicated
cards/machines.  IMO, Brutus will have to demostrate superiority to top PC based
programs to have a viable market.  I think there would be a market for this --IF
it does that.  Not there yet, but getting better all the time.

Right after Deep Blue, Dr Hsu/IBM could have sold a "Deep Blue Jr" machine for
$2K or $3K and they would have sold thousands.  When the machine is ready, if
they could get a match against the WC and win - it will sell.  That's their best
case scenario.
