A stack of Computer Chess Reports , and 10 yrs of old Selective Search magazines ...... A broken Mephisto Amsterdam modular computer with a Roma module ..... and a mint condition Fidelity EAG , model # 6114 , serial # 92230010 ....

It was my decision , she is happy to help ....... I collected a lot of stuff over the years , and now it is time to start unloading at least some of it ... We are both 66 , and have lived in this house for 30 yrs...... Who knows , we could become political refugees also in the near future , and need to move ... I've had decades of chess enjoyment , it's time to share ......
Sorry I don't know what is wrong with the Amsterdam machine ... it was always one of my favorites......

We live in Wichita/Kansas/USA ..... we've been leftists our adult lives , went to college in the late 60's ..... Kansas has been my home for almost entire life . but the last few yrs has taken a hard right turn ...... and now the country is torn down the middle ....... with less than 2 months to go the polls are 50/50 , and Trump stands a good chance to become President ..... sorry to inject politics , but everybody seems upset , both sides ..... each side is driven by hating the other side's candidate .....
That has been kind of what sparked my desire to sell stuff .... we have accumulated a lot of stuff after 30 yrs in this house ..... time to start.....
Peace ...... Tom
aka Jack Straw from Wichita ........

I understand you feel bad with that turn, but let me tell you that as a citizen that has seen and lived two leftist experiences, one with allende, the other with Bachelet, I can tell you that there is NOTHING in the left recipe that works OK. They brings stagnation, high taxes, public expenses, clientelism, ideological suffocation, you name it.JackStraw wrote:We live in Wichita/Kansas/USA ..... we've been leftists our adult lives , went to college in the late 60's .....

I'm not any radical or anything , but you have to choose one side or the other , there is no middle ground left ........ Our state eliminated taxes on business a few yrs ago , promising a shot of adrenaline to the economy ....... guess what really happened ..... the rich get richer , and anybody below gets left behind.... I am not complaining about our status , we do fine , but I vote in favor of middle class , and below ........ I don't brag about Democrats , but it is the only hope .... Republican's are still pushing the Art Laffer theory of economics .... they are bankrupting our state , and dream of taking that program national.......
How about a laugh on me ..... here is a exp video to work thru the process , but a look at my EAG ..........
Don't tell my wife I put it on ...........

should have mentioned
Living where I do , and at our level , I have not experienced much of what the rest of the world has , and I am thankful for that ...... But it pains me greatly to see what has happened to the world . Had great hope and expectations 50 yrs ago , but no more ..... That is why I love to do chess stuff. I can't even figure out the chess board , let alone the world ....
