believe you me Dick,if you continue with your collecting sooner or later you
will want the CCI
every collector wants the very first chess computer ever made
of course if your goal is not to start a collection but just buy computers that
interest you then the CCI is easily passed by

i will make another suggestion to you..
try not to buy computers without the original box and pieces and manuals
if you continue collecting you will regret it later that you don't have the
complete set for a computer

this happened to me when i first started on Ebay
i bought anything i was searching for  that moved
box,no box..manual no manual
then after awhile another would pop up on ebay with a complete set and i would
wind up buying it again

this is partly the reason for my extensive doubles list

take that Elite A/S for example

no original box and no original carton for the pieces
perhaps a small thing to you now,but if you continue buying more,it will matter
later

also it might be of interest to try to find out which A/S  this is
Fidelity released several with different programs and varying clock speeds

Best
Steve
