>I do appreciate it, but you are right as rain on the other issues with this >particular computer. 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. the words of a TRUE collector i knew it was only a matter of time before you realized this from your collection of the old Vinyl Lp's it only stands to reason that you would collect in the same manner with the old computers so i am happy to welcome you to the wonderful hobby oddly once someone becomes serious in collecing they seem to no longer post here and choose to post elsewhere i guess the CCC can be considered the "womb" for chess computer collector's :)) J/K > 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. yes i remember you saying that. but this was when you were still deciding on if you are collecting "officially" or not the day i saw you win the CC1 i knew you were now a "hardcore"collector :)) > >In the past few days I have received a CC1, CC10, and CC7, and I am enjoying >them all very much.
