No, a chess AI would easily fit in the CPU budget. (... especially if one avoided Python for the AI and stuck to the usual implementation languages for such things. There are several in the Debian software collection which might be repurposed. A Sugar wrapper for xboard doesn't feel like it would be too silly.) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
