Curiously I'm not sure where Newton came in, he discussed "action at a distance" not "spooky action at a distance". As regards Quantum computers, my Quantum mechanics lectures never got far enough to discuss this, but I suspect there maybe fundemental laws restricting how big a quantum computer you can build. Specifically I thought the prevailing view was wave function collapse was only a mathematical tool, and that macroscopic coherence arises via other means. Either way it is horribly off topic and unlikely to affect chess computers for a few years yet *8-) -- Simon Waters Are you using the Internet to best effect ? www.eighth-layer.com Tel: +44(0)1395 232769 ICQ: 116952768 Moderated discussion of teleworking issues at news:uk.business.telework
