Regarding the work on neural networks playing backgammon:

Since my site gets news via a dial-up connection, I assume many people
saw this a day or two before I did, and may have contacted Mr.
Tesauro. If anybody does contact Mr. Tesauro regarding his
backgammon program, could they please post what they find out? I'm
sure that the poor guy doesn't need to spend the next week answering
the same e-mail requests over and over again.
Coming Soon: X11 backgammon
The user interface is almost finished, and it's way cool -- I've
created a backgammon-board widget, so you can include a backgammon
board with movable pieces in any X application! (Don't ask me why you
would want to.)
I've hacked up the BSD backgammon program to use as the engine, so not
only are the graphics keen, you win almost every game!
