You can't please everyone.  "Where is Chess Tiger 2004?" will soon be another
refrain (I imagine).  ProDeo and Thinker will also be very interesting.  However
with finite time and finite computers and finite operators you cannot test every
combination the moment someone thinks of it.

I suspect that given an infinte number of monkeys with an infinite number of
typewriters, that long before they have completed the works from "The Bard" they
will request an infinite number of bananas.

Where are we going to put all those banana peels?
Someone could slip and hurt themselves.
