I never did consider myself a collector but I did buy almost all the chess computers I could find on retail market starting 1979. The reasons behind this were my fascination for playing chess against a computer. Why did I buy so many? Because I was regularly beating them, and frankly wanted a computer, that would beat me. My winnings continued all the way to the Fidelities 2100 series. This was a lot of wasted money for a non collector since I gave all of my old computers away for free upon buying a new one. Finally Fidelity Excel Mach III turned it around. A computer I could not beat. It was perfect for my strength and I know it will last me a life time assuming it keeps working. Why did I not stop buying new computers after this? The answer is I could not resist the esthetics of newer computers. Like: Elite A/G 2265 Saitek Renaissance + all the modules Risc 2500 Mephisto exclusive senator And others in between. This has been a long journey for me. But it needs to end soon for the sake of my bank account. And if that day ever comes, I will be running naked in the street yelling “FREE AT LAST” I am not a collector regards Murat ...
