Should anybody spend the money to find out?  Only those with multiple processor
computers would be motivated to purchase a "deep" chess program.

I previously purchased Deep Junior with the mistaken idea that "deep is better"
and got burned by that mistake.  I now use "ordinary" Junior and recent
bulletins here suggest Junior is almost 50 points stronger than Deep Junior on a
single processor machine.  You may recall the threads which discussed this.
