Subject: Collector's Corner..A Glimpse Of The Rank And File

Here is a nice page which shows a small Glimpse of chess computer collector's
the hard work-a-day members of the Rank and File if you please

while there are of course far more collectors then shown here,i think this
represents a good sample of those that share the hobby of collecting the old
dedicated chess computers

each balloon on the world map represents a different collector
if you click on it, a smaller  balloon pops up with the name and a comment that
the collector wrote

to the right you can see each individual collector with a photo and some comment
he made

i find it interesting to note the distribution of collectors  on the world map

while there are a few scattered to the far reaches of the globe..most collectors
are clustered around the Atlantic Ocean

this is a result of millions of years of migration ..where collectors have
gathered around the Atlantic in an effort to live near the major shipping lanes
of the Atlantic in order to expedite the shipping of chess computers back and
forth to each other ..in many cases the same computers being shipped back and
forth ,forth and back ,as a result of Ebay
