as you are probably the only one reading them i feel obligated to answer

but which computers?
the ones i mentioned today?
if so..


>Firs, the current Elo rating of the machines;

SE12-CONTAINS 1983 WC Budapest program-1775

Super System III-1375

>adquisition.

6080B i bought from a Swiss collector 5 years ago..arms length transaction

SE12-bought from a US collector 3 years ago..he was near death from a terminal
illness,, i waited till the end..i got a GREAT deal

SSIII i bought in 1980 a little after it was first released

>Third, what the press of that time, magazins et all, said of the machines.



all the machines had great press and each machine was supposed to be the second
coming of Christ

Samole was a marketing genius and so he praised the SC12 and Excellence in every
computer magazine that would accept his money

for the SS III.. it was a techical marvel with all of the attachments and
special carry case and Novag spoke only about these things and rarely mentioned
its poor playing ability
