Hello,
Does it have to be a new computer? There's lots of good used ones around in the
$5 to $30 range. Most of the older tabletops would be more than suitable for
someone in the area of 1400. I bought a "Radio Shack 2150" (around 1500-1600
stength) at a pawn shop for $10 adaptor included. It has a nice large sensory
playing board and though it didn't have an owner's manual, figuring it out was
pretty easy. That was 2 years ago and it still works fine today. I've also seen
the odd chess computer at yard sales. Just make sure they let you try it out
before you plunk down your 5 or 10 dollars.
Regards,
Peter
