Give me my ATARI ST back !
Give me Mephisto back.
Give me Fidelity back.
Give me back my Super-Conny !
Please David Levy: make me a new dedicated chess-computer with an
obscure program playing different.

The old days have gone. And nothing fills the black hole.
I don't want a mass-market chess-computer that plays as strong as my
toaster with a Frans-Morsch engine I have a dozent-times on my PC. I
want something new, something strange and strong. Do you remember the
moment you switched on the BORIS chess-computer. Do you remember the day
Mark V said: forced move / erzwungener Zug ?
Do you remember the binary digits that showed Superconny's search-depth
?
Or the hex-evaluation of Mephisto 2 (e.g. 7A5F) or the wooden-board of
Fidlity Avantgarde ?

Ah - it's late. I will go sleep now and dream to have a SPHINX 68000
with infinite-computing-level (it had only limited levels, not an
infinite mode)...
or the come back of Martin Bryant with a Colossus XX !
