I have added another set to my photo web site consisting of scans of computer chess articles taken from Mark Uniacke's collection of old Chess Computer Magazines
Mark was kind enough to scan these articles and then grant me permission to post them
the scans can all be enlarged and downloaded
simply click on the photo to select it and then click again to get to the download menu
for anyone interested in the early beginnings of commercially available chess computers ..these scans will make for pleasant reading on a lazy Sunday afternoon

the title photo of the set is of me as a young lad engaged in heavy testing of one of the then newly released chess computers

Re: Collector's Corner....A Trip Down Memory Lane
I wish I was into chess computers back then, boy was there a fortune
changing hands. All you had to do was write a reasonable program, then
show some entrepreneurial skills putting it all together. You would be living
in a penthouse overlooking the harbor within a few years.
Many thanks for the work put in...

new additions are added to the bottom of the set so for those interested in downloading the latest scans you can start from the last scan and work backwards to your left
