I'm sure it can't compete with the ongoing soap opera found here and on other computer chess sites. :lol:

Alright! They were able to complete the film. When Houston King joined the forum asking for information, I was not sure it would reach completion.

The trailer and the pictures remind me of a funny anecdote I read about the team that designed the first macintosh, between 1980-1984: "It's The Moustache That Matters" I guess the moustache was very trendy among the young nerds, back then. ;)

Certainly for Dave Slate. Not everyone however. Kopec tried all options. Beard. Mustache. Clean-shaven. I remember telling him after he dumped the full beard approach and showed up at an event with a clean face "Danny, if my dog had a face like that, I'd shave his ass and make him walk backward." :)

Guess Danny was one of your closest friends - but anyway - the level of communication amongst you was clearly shown...;-)
