Headlines: "Deep Blue's designer challenges Kasparov with >an even faster machine." "Kasparov challenged to play a new and improved Deep >Blue machine." "etc..." Hsu stated that he would not be permitted to use the name Deep Blue, even as "Baby Blue". Unless this changed when he bought the rights to the chip, then IBM might well object to the use of the term in headlines. Thus, the ease with which the public makes the leap from Blue to Hsu may be overstated here... >I think the world would make the connection very quickly. Not without the term "Deep Blue". kp
