Hi: I started also with CC7 and I was so enthralled by it that I lost my job, in that time as a car seller (well, it were the days when in my countrry to have a degree in sociology, as I had, was near to be a mass murderer, so I was compelled to any kind of job to pay the bills). In those times I was more or less equal to the machine in playing strenght and so I got a lot of fun. I remember that after the job I worked in my thesis - something very complicated about the logic and maths of social systems and something I knew very well nobody was going to evaluate, being those times what they were- I settled the machine to play a move in level 4, that took about 20 minutes for each move. So a game lasted a long day or more, but I had the time to write my work during the long lapses the machined used to answer my moves. That were incredible days of fun! After that it came sensory 8, then a tiny machine by Novag, then an Atari piece of junk, then and then and then...until current days, with more than fifty programs, counting commercials and freeware crop. I also remember that in my first travel to USA, the very first thing I did was going to the streets of Miami looking for Fidelity Par Excellence, a machine that I still keep and that I play from time to time, really a very good one. Even the history of my country seems to be related with my hobby. I remember very well that the day -a sunday- the dictator Pinochet was ambuhed and almost killed I was playing a game against Novag Constellation 3,6 and I was so inmersed in the game that I was not interested I looking at the Tv to see the details... Well, nothing is more important that a good game, isn't it? fernando
