I'm considering buying a Fidelity Elite A/S Chess Computer, which lists
at $450.  I'd like to find out what a good price for the Elite A/S is,
and where I might purchase it.  (About two years ago, I saw an ad in Chess
Life for a large mail-order house (located in New York?) with very good
prices on many products.  Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the
company.

I'm not up to the level of a club player, and I'm looking for a chess computer
for casual, recreational use.  I find the following Elite A/S features to be
particularly interesting:
	- "AutoSensory" (i.e. moving a piece on the board notifies the
			computer of the move.  "Sensory" boards require
			that the piece be pressed against the board at
			the "from" and "to" squares.)
	- chess clock
	- wooden board and pieces
	- rating between 1900 and 2000
I hope that a machine of this quality will play a fairly varied ("human")
game, with no obvious idiosyncracies.  Any opinions?

If you have specific knowledge or suggestions (or want to sell a used
Elite?), please respond by mail.

Thanks All.
