Hi Steve, >> This would be the first for me -- I've had family members with some less >> expensive computers, but nothing like this Novag. > well a Robot Adversary is certainly a great computer but hardly whai would > call a "starter" for a collection > there were other Robot(self moving) dedicated chess computers released for > sale > here is a run down of all of them: > http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/album?.dir=e084&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/my_photos > of course the Novag is the only one ever released with the Arm > the rest all move by electro magnetic induction Don't forget about the Boris Handroid which definitely exists... But the robot arm of the Novag seems to be definitely more fun... (But I would not care much if I would own one of them... I would be happy with any... :) In the meanwhile I cook smaller cakes - finally got a Spracklen (Kishon Chester) and another R.C. Nelson (CC 8). And funny enough, in one auction a Mephisto II was announced but getting the package it showed to be a Mephisto I -> I think I should not be to unhappy about that... :) I WAS unhappy that the Mephisto Milano Pro finally was a Mephisto Schachakademie... I have a Kittinger too now, in fact two, a Constellation and an Emerald (not the classic)... hunting for the cheap stuff is really fun. Anyway, it still seems unlikely that I can ever get a Lang... currently the Mephisto Berlin's, IMO the cheapest Lang programs, usually go well over 100 € which is for now my absolut limit to bid on. But I have time... :) Greets, Thomas
