The fonts (or piece designs) are different.  Interesting how the Novag website
has the poorer-looking font and poorer lighting on their picture.

Is it known if there are other designs, or is there still much fog-of-war with
this product?

How are the pre-orders coming along, is this computer selling?

I am now thinking of getting one of these cool things.  I'm soon to get a new
"regular" computer with an Athlon which will be mighty strong, but for me there
is no greater enjoyment in playing a dedicated chess computer.  Right now I have
a Radio Shack 2150L.  I win about 33% of the time at level A7 with permanent
brain off, but the computer takes 2 minutes a move.  I'm looking to upgrade so I
can get an equivelent game that will take less time to move.
