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? :) Tomb Raider Mike
