SSDF owns one K6-2 450 (since a month, a P90 was upgraded) and three P200 MMX.

No, definitely not!

They have been bought with SSDFs own money. Money which mainly comes from
membership fees. (7.700 dollars in -98, estimated 600 dollars in -99) In earlier
years when PLY existed we had some incomes from
advertisement in PLY. Mästarting AB and Hobby Computer Centrale(!) where the
main advertisors during the last years. By the way, HCC still owns us 2.100
Swedish kroners (250 dollars), which Weiner refuses to pay. ChessBase has never
had any advertisement in PLY.

There is no other organization!
