>Kurt's website mentions that there are 3 versions of the CC10, but that the
>differences are slight.  Are they cosmetic differences?

these different versions of the CC10 were released only in Europe(mainly
Germany/Austria)
the differences were mainly minor bug fixes and cosmetic
the biggest noticable difference was the CC10 C which was rectangular like the
CC7 and not with rounded edges

several Fidelity computers had minor revisions in Europe only
the Excel Mach II for example went through three revisions in Germany(Mach
IIa,IIb and IIc) ,again minor bug fixes,but no cosmetic differences

in the US the mach II was released in two versions the normal one and very soon
after the Mach II LA(winner of a tournament in LA)

again minor differences in the program

these types of minor revisons are not really all that collectable
one example of a CC10 or Excel Mach II is more then sufficient(IMO)

some Fidelity computers however were ONLY released in Germany and these are
highly collectable
examples would include(but not be limited to):
Grandmaster Voice
Poppy
Elite Privat
Playmatic "S"

all of these can be seen on my collection photos

International Regards
Steve
