Actually we're Czech.

BTW you'll feel right at home at UIUC, they love ultra-parallel solutions there.
For an example, check out my bro's web site (www.visbox.com). Those huge screens
are controlled by something like 40 PCs - you can imagine how much work it is to
get it all running together. Even just to unpack the computers.

I guess we'll see next summer if this also works in computer chess. :)
