Subject: Req: Novag Computer Assessment

I'm thinking of buying something like the Novag Sapphire II chess
computer (because our home PC has become so unstable & I'm tired of
being tied down to it anyway).  But I haven't had a little chess
computer for 15-20 years, and the last one I had was *very* slow (it
took an hour per move at the highest setting).  Are these newer gadgets
reasonably fast?  As a novice, I'm not too worried about how strong they
are.  But I'd like to be able to sit down and play a game at a normal
pace.

While I'm at it, is there any particular model you'd recommend?  I'm
attracted to the portability of the Sapphire II (so much so that I'm
willing to type the moves in for the sake of that convenience).  But if
there's something better around. . . .
