Another additional story: when making the book for the Mephisto Polgar, I had a
Mephisto Academy at my home, that used a 18 MHz turbokit. I wasn't very fond of
this kit: many times the Academy crashed and then you should start it all over
again. Probably the thing didn't like the hot weather :-). Also in tournaments
with Jan Louwman's machines there were crashes very often. So *if* you could
lokate such a kit somewhere on e-Bay, be sure it is still in good working
order....
