Thanks, Pete on IBM's logic on their selling of chess software.  If their
software was awesome, they already would have a large share against the top
guns.

Someday said every 18 months the hardware doubles in speed.
Someone else said IBM's hardware "DB" is 1000 times faster than the 500MHZ PIII.
In the year 2015, (what a bold prediction) PC's will be as fast as Deep Blue.
Do the math:
2 ^ 10 = 1024  (twice the speed 10 times equals about 1000 times faster)

18 * 10 = 180 (18 months multiplied by ten times equals 180 months)

180 months equals 15 years

2000 + 15 = 2015 (We are now in the year 2000; add 15 years and you will get
2015)
