i know you do not collect chess computers and have no interest to collect them

but i can tell you

to be a top collector you must be kind to potential sellers of computers you want

you must praise them..joke with them
tell them how smart and witty they are

finally when you receive from the seller the computer you want...

THEN
you can be curt,short and impatient with them

:wink:

Hardcore XXX Collecting Regards

Steve is a Hard-Core Collector, selling is unthinkable, he'd give up his First-Born rather than sell. But he'll wine and dine you for that very rare machine if you possess it, and he doesn't have it :wink:
