It seem that dedicated machines are back and stronger than ever. Hope they would not be so expensive.

Still I prefer to put my hands on Steve's collection....of course this very desire of mine was/is motivated by Fernando via several PMs....he told me that someday this will happen no matter what financial or physical resistance we'll encounter....

Hi
Home made 'Hybrid' chess computers are now the way forward now that most of the chess computer manufacturers have given up except Ruud.
Give this man a medal for producing a great chess computer.

i am ashamed to admit i have slowly been selling my collection ..one by one..piece by piece..on Ebay under several different assumed names
i am down to less then a handful of cheap portable units
this is why i was not even asked to give an interview for that new French dedicated chess computer site in another thread here

OK then! I'll take your Novag VIP please! :lol: Anyway, it does not take an Einstein to realise if your collection were to sell piece by piece on eBay, then with the standard duration auction it would take 302.467 years to sell it all. Your ruse has therefore been exposed...unless your name is really Captain Jack Harkness. Of course, even this assumes eBay has been around that long. Another flaw in your charade.

Hi Ricardo and Jon

amazingly enough.. the Fidelity EAG 2100 and the Novag VIP were the very first computers to go on the auction block
brought in a pretty penny they did..

just a few more to go and i will be down to only three left...

All totally defective and yet cosmetically pristine Novag Robot Adversaries regards

I hear the Rag and Bone man will be in Steve's Street this weekend

Image

From Wiki:
Rag-and-bone man is a British phrase for a junk dealer. Historically the phrase referred to an individual who would travel the streets of a city with a horsedrawn cart, and would collect old rags, (for converting into fabric and paper), bones for making glue, scrap iron and other items, often trading them for other items of limited value.

They would use a distinctive call to alert householders to their presence, and/or ring a hand bell. The call was something similar to "rag-and-bone", delivered in a sing-song fashion. Long usage tended to simplify the words, for instance down to "any raa-boh", even to the point of incomprehensibility, although the locals could easily identify who was making the call. This was satirised by the comedian Marty Feldman in his "Ay-oh frye" sketch, where he played a rag-and-bone man who, when asked, had no idea what his call meant.

Almost certainly the cry "rag bone" is a phrase from Romany or a similar language, as it can be heard in Central Europe as well as in England—exactly the same.

I notice there is far too much negative camber on those rear cart wheels. And the front right has toe-out issues. Obviously that man had little regard for tyre wear, inside tyre temperatures or his cart's handling. This is assuming the cart even still has tyres - possibly it might not...
