You know, I thought of that after I posted the question.  I wondered if you
might have had the answer to the question somewhere in your pictures.  :-)

Perhaps I am confused about your picture site.  At one time you had two separate
pages/albums, didn't you?  This was several months ago and back, before you
reorganized the pictures into albums by company.  I had two different links set
up in my favorites to access the two different pages/albums.  At that time
Ismenio had a link to your pictures, but to only one of them, and the other one
was not available through his website.

Now that you have them organized differently, maybe all of the albums are on a
single page.  I know that there were a couple of times in the past that I was
unable to access one of your "pages", but could get to the other one, and after
I told you about it the problem was corrected.

After you get the albums all back up, I will see what my two "old" links take me
to on your site.

Not any big deal, but now I am very curious.

I see on the bottom of the Mini Chess Challenger it does say "made in Hong
Kong".  That should have been a huge clue to me.  :-)

Thanks for continuing to answer all of my "newbie" questions.

Always More To Learn Regards,
