Does anyone know why Fidelity went out of business? As far as I know, Fidelity chess computers sold as well, and were just as strong as other makes. But were they as reliable as other brands? I don't know. My first Fidelity was a CC7. It started to make illegal moves within a week of buying it. I took it back to the store where I bought it and the clerk acted like she was expecting me! The CC7 was cheerfully exchanged and the replacememt works fine to this day. My next Fidelity was an Excellence, (EP12). Three weeks before the warranty was due to expire, it started acting crazy. The lights would start blinking at random and it started making illegal moves, too. So off to the factory in Florida it went. After five long weeks, I got my computer back. But....two weeks later, the AC/Battery switch got stuck on the AC position. And stuck hard. I dare not force it. It still works fine, but I can't use batteries! warm regards Mikey "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
