Hi Steve,

Tonight I talked to a friend of mine and he agrees with me that Jans collection
probably has gone to a chessfriend of his. During the next ICT tournament in
Leiden I will meet him, so I can ask him about it.

Jan always had a nice collection of the most recent machines. Not only to play
in tournaments with, but also for his private computer chess team ROM 84. He
owned several turbokits, the strongest Richard Lang programs and the best
Schröder programs.

Wundermaschine regards, Jeroen
