I don't see it as a slope at all, just a matter of distance. So to me it's just a matter of continuing to put one foot in front of the other. But using different terminology than you, we should talk about how to get closer faster. As software people we have to attack it from the software end and not worry about the hardware end so much because that is out of our hands anyway (unless of course we are in hardware.) - Don > > -- > Petr "Pasky" Baudis > A lot of people have my books on their bookshelves. > That's the problem, they need to read them. -- Don Knuth > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ >
