Ray First of all you have to be old and interested in dedicated chess computers. Secondly your not allowed to own a PC. Well actually you ask your son if it's ok to use his PC that you bought for the family some years ago but your kids think it's theirs. Thirdly, at your initiation you will be blindfolded and given three dedicated chess computers to feel. One will be a very old Fidelity, another will be a rare SciSys and the final one will be an old Novag from the seventies. If you get them all correct then you will become a member of the 'Old Farts' Steve if your reading this.......who are the other members. My memory is not as good as it use to be. Regards Bryan Thirdly
