What interesting developments did we have regarding dedicated chess computer and
collectibles in the past year here?

Since I've only been here for a few months, I can only recall the following, by
memory:

- We had a rare Novag Robot Adversary that was sold for over EUR 3,188.00
- A few Tasc units that also draw some attention
- A scam by someone trying to sell a rare Tasc computer
- Two rare Chesster Eyeballs – one of them was sold for over $2000 US
- Someone was trying to sell a regular Phantom with a starting bid of around
$1000 US – no bids
- Some insider news about an upcoming dedicated chess computer – will we see it
in 2005?
- Interesting questions popped up: what is the world's biggest and smallest
chess computer? In what year and month where chess computers released?
Interesting games where two units played against themselves

I for one, hope to see more topics related to collectibles and dedicated units
in 2005 :)
