Go up one level in this thread


Since we're on the subject ;)

Did you know that Deep Blue...

... was the first chess player to be on the cover of a newsweek magazine since
Bobby Fischer

... was recognized by 50% of Americans according to a poll. Less than that
recognized Kasparov

... caused the IBM's stock to go up over $10,000,000 immediately after the match

... was featured on the Futurama cartoon? Its task was to protect the Earth's
time-space continuum (with the help of Al Gore and Star Trek's Uhura)



Deep Blue Regards,
