Subject: Collector's Corner..A Walk On The Wild Side..

Being an extreme "Right Wing" collector means only collecting computers that
were sold to the public in their original released condition
modified computers are not permitted
the typical modification one comes across is the notorious "over clocking" of
the processor speed
the most commonly seen over clocked computer is the Mephisto MMV which ran on 5
MHz but can be modified to 10 MHz

however the Polgar which was released in a 5 MHz AND a 10 MHz version is
perfectly ok



another is the Fidelity Elite A/G which has suffered many different unauthorized
mutations over the years(higher processors,over clocking even combinations of
the two)


however even members of the Right wing philosophy of collecting can sometimes
stray from the beaten path

while it is not a modified program module,i did allow myself a "walk on the wild
side" with this baby

the board and computer are all "govt issue" but the display module has a nice
"Xmas theme " to it
