Very many thanks for the Mk V post Steve. Still looking for the Mint Mk V
(English version). They seem susceptible to sticking keys and LCD problems after
all these years. I have a German one in perfect working order but find that the
German keys and announcements detract from using it quite a bit.

The Philidor program does not seem to affect announcements. A module with
English keys still gives German announcements on a German machine.

I guess you are right about the CC7 guy, now we have one from Canada who has
delusions approaching Wunderfee proportions with a Buy-It-Now of $250. Perhaps
CC7s are the latest thing. What price an Australian much-loved one? :)
