Hello Don,

Remember the Deeper Blue vs. GM Kasparov match I would say these two (2) players
were fairly evenly matched, therefore, if this is factual I submit that Micro's
still have a long way to go.....just think of the difference in hardware between
a P450 and the IBM multi-processsor....a huge gap there...I think a few years is
wishful thinking, for a home PC-Micro maybe ten (10) years !!

IMHO:))

Take care !
