When I was but a relative child, as buying these things go, you gave me similar advice, and I ignored it a couple of times. What seemed like good deals at the time, I have come to realize were simply errors in my judgement. There are certain times where incomplete computers can still be worthwhile, like my recent CC1, but I now know that those are the exceptions. I have "grown" a bit since then, and have a long ways more to go. It has only been a couple of months, but I now feel as if I understand the attraction of acquiring these things. I once told you that I could not see the value in spending hard earned money on the early chess computers that didn't even play proper chess. I no longer feel that way. In the past few days I have received a CC1, CC10, and CC7, and I am enjoying them all very much. There is something wonderful about these old ones, that is missing from the much higher rated and fancier models from a decade or so later. Of course, that might simply be because I can win against these older chess computers! :-) Now if you had an extra black pawn for a Saitek President, I would be quite excited. My Novag Emerald Classic Plus pieces work fine on it, but I hate not having complete sets of anything. Turning Over a New Leaf Regards, Dick Schneiders
