Go up one level in this thread


>I notice that Kurts site does not list these (apart from the R40).


well this is because Kurt will list on his rare page only those computers that a
known collector actually owns and if he  wants it to be shown and supplies a
photo of it

so you do see the following:
Fidelity V10
R40
Wunder Machine

The Bogol and Le Emperour are owned by collectors(whom i know personally) but
they have no interest in displaying it on his site

i own the TSB 4 and simply havent contacted him to display it but i should do
that

and finally there are no known collectors with the Dual V5 or V8

Also Kurt himself will say that his Rare page is not all inclusive and indeed
includes computers that are not rare such as the Novag Castle or the  Bavaria
London..he considers the page more of a page for highly interesting computers
but i guess he keeps the title "Rare" to attract attention

Setting the Record Straight Regards
