Lets say IBM brings out another DB, as for making money from it, maybe from sponsers for their freak shows against human players. The main reason it is gone now is from lack of money. As for this DB Jr crap, yeah well I still ain't seen it yet. If it took thousands of these special chips to make DB so good, what the hell is one going to do. Nothing !!!!. Ed by winning a game against a GM is all he needs to do. And any talk about IMB or Hsu should be put up or shut up. instead of making or these dream statements about what they can do with computer chess. Lets not forget, it took a super computer costing more than most make in a lifetime years to beat the No 1 player, who can be said played some or the most crap and strange moves I have ever seen Kasparov play. I think people need to get into perspective, DB is dead, and so too any bragging about its so called greatness. So great that no one gave a damn about supporting it.
