RE: [computer-go] Re: Sharing Secrets

Hi everybody,
I would like to step in at this point, not because I have something to share,
but as I could qualify as "aspiring Go programmer". Is there anyway to find
Mark's Library? Was it available on the Internet? Is Mark still willing to share
it?

Ciao,
Giovanni
