Subject: Collector's Corner..A Question To Those Interested..

Those of you that have read my posts over the years would have been  subjected
to numerous posts about many of the old chess computers
(perhaps bored to tears would be a better term?)


of all those computers, which computer do you consider the most interesting?
not necessarily the one you would want to own or even play against..but the one
you personally find the most of interest or unusual or even strange?
it of course could be a computer i did not even mention

i will start it off by saying i consider the Omikron Bogol the most perplexing
computer ever released and quite frankly hard for me to  understand..
this was a full, Tournament sized ,wooden ,auto sensory with the unbelievable
mistake of having the white and black squares reversed(having a black square in
the lower right hand corner)

i still cant figure out how this can happen
i mean producing a wooden full sized computer is no "fly by night" operation
which takes 15 minutes

it would take months and months to produce a full compliment of shippable
computers,and in all that time,not one person,in the entire production,selling
and marketing depts noticed this obvious gaff??

i just cant figure it out

Best
Steve
