Star Wars Toy Collectors
Do you play chess? Play against Thinking Machine 4, and watch it plot its next move. When the machine is thinking, a network of curves is overlaid on the board, showing potential moves. Orange curves are moves by black; green curves are ones by white. The brighter curves are thought by the program to be better for white. Beautiful!

Man... that rollercoaster is some bad ride, no?
And they're always brilliant posts, which simply ticks me off. Can't you ever have an off day? I need something to look good in comparison to, and so far, you ain't it. ~8-)
