It's strong, fully featured and beautiful. Where is the successor to 2100? Is the Cosmos better, about the same, or not as good? While I'm on the subject, what is the state of the dedicated market today? I personally haven't bought a new machine since the Travel Champion 2100. In browsing through the holiday catalog in Chess Life, I saw no CRA rating claims except for the oldest models, which earned their ratings years ago. The ICD catalog shows no new models in the high-end, at least, none that I've noticed. Have we reached the end of the line as far as dedicated machines go? Will the R30 be remembered as the penultimate dedicated unit for all time? Are the Atlanta and Diamond II going to remain state-of-the-art indefinitely? Will the TC 2100 and Sapphire II be remembered as the strongest portables ever produced? Robert
