These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various
brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the
cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted Inside to get rid of most of
the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long
time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually
486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account
(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway). Get free carriage
If you also take a monitor (the •b• indicates an additional E10 carriage charge). Keyboard,
mouse and mains cable Included. Single slice machines do not have backplanes unless
specified. Ethernet cards etc. can be taken out If not required. There Is a three month
warranty on these machines and they are supplied as seen', so to speak. All details are
subject to change and please check availability before ordering.

COTT rIS
I know it may be tedious of me but, hey, we
can all be proud: We won the Rugby World
Cup. And since I'm the sort of person that
people would use for their sport questions
phone-a-friend on Who Wants To Be A
Millionnaire, I take particular pride in it.
I hope it's not too contrived a jump to say that
I take a pride in RISC OS as well and that fact
that it is still here after all these years and after
all the trouble it's been through. And there
aren't many other products that could have
taken the beating that it has taken with so
many broken promises, from Acorn onwards,
And that, of course, is down to two things:
First it is a very good product. It may not be
perfect. well it isn't but then nothing is. We can
suffice with "it's a very good product". And
then there is you. Obviously if RISC OS hadn't
been such a good product you wouldn't have
stuck with it.
But you are one of those people who has
stuck with it and supported the market
thereby allowing companies such as Castle.
CJE Micros. Stuart Tyrrell Developments (now
Advantage 6) and all the rest, to have a base
from which to develop.
There are, of course, those who really haven't
helped. Betrayal of trust is very common in
our world and I suppose we shouldn't be
surprised but it does hurt.
If you read the PC computer press. which I do,
you would know that the complaints against
Microsoft and the way it behaves continue to
increase. They are not diminishing. The
security flaws that never seem to go away, the
Big Brother control attitude of the company.
Restrictions, corporate isolationism, it's
actually quite appalling what they are doing.
And there is corporate and governmental
unrest. Microsoft has too much power and it is
continually trying to grab more. It doesn't
cooperate, it dominates.
Linux is one option that people look at, but
although certain companies have taken the
plunge it is a difficult area_ By it's open nature
Linux is resistant to commercial exploitation.
Some consider this to be a good point and, of
course, it is. But it is also a barrier.
In the Far East there is talk of developing a
new operating system from scratch to
challenge Windows, simply because they
don't like having Microsoft controlling their
businesses.
And here we are with a mature operating
system (which admittedly could do with some
work) in a market that works cooperatively.
Perhaps it's another game we could play
successfully. It's worth thinking about.
