The end of the Fujitsu Cup
So, according to the latest AGA E-Journal, the Fujitsu Cup is being cancelled after 24 continuous years. It's extremely light on details, though. Does anyone know if this is just another casualty of the global recession, or if this is in response to something (change in leadership, declining popularity, poor attendance, etc)?
The road to wisdom? Well, it's plain, and simple to express: Err, and err, and err again; but less, and less, and less!

Re: The end of the Fujitsu Cup
Maybe the flood this year in Thailand which caused such a headache for Japanese computer makers would be a part of the reason.

Re: The end of the Fujitsu Cup
That's a shame.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
