Subject: Collectors Corner & how mood can change

This morning:

Rybka in a difficult position against Shredder. Good preparation by Sandro and a
nice piece sac by Stefans program. I leave home in a bad mood, Rybka being
almost -2 down. Some black pawns are coming forward and how should white stop
them?

Coming home at 7 PM:

Hey, what's happened? Rybka - Shredder draw!? Yes indeed! A narrow escape.....
But then I read that Rybka beats Zappa in the next round. Things get better and
better! All can be possible again in Paderborn. Great results sofar by Ikarus
and Gandalf. But many others can win. Exciting stuff!

AND.... As a beginning collector I am proud that since today I am the owner of:

1. Champion Sensory Chess Challenger
2. Sensory Chess Challenger Voice
3. Chess Challenger 10 C
4. Constellation 3,6 MHz
5. A complete Super System III

Don't know why, but I simply love these old machines! And today I saw a Novag
Robot moving its pieces for the first time in my life. Guys, that is MUCH better
than moving pieces with a mouse on the screen! Sigh, these good old days...
