Hi Earl,

for what reason should IBM do that ? They can only lose ! When it loses against
Shredder (which is quite sure in my opinion, but PLEASE don't start a discussion
about that... PLEASE ... :) it would lose reputation - it would lose even when
it does not win in a convincing way.
And against Kasparov ? Again, they can only lose because everyone would expect a
win. So I would fire that marketing person which came up with such an idea... :)
So far Deep Blue is kind a mythos - and IBM is definitely very interested to
keep it there. Who won't...

Greets, Thomas
