T h e s e 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
c a s e s . All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of
t h e 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.

THE A-TtftNAT . 4 PC* PO4111. C O P I R I N G
1-cl tor's
C(y'nmonts
Due to other commitments it is almost
impossible for me to personally attend
shows. This is a shame because the
couple I have attended in the past I have
enjoyed. Sometimes they can be very
interesting and it seems to me that on this
occasion the Wakefield Show was very
interesting indeed. But I wasn't there, so I
thought I would hand my column over to
Steve Turnbull who was there, in the thick
of it:
This is not going to be a description of all
the different products and product
enhancements of those companies who
attended the show, we have a Show Report
for that and probably a fair proportion of
the News too.
Instead let us look at what seems to be
happening in the market as a whole: We are
heading for a crux.
On the one hand the market seems to be
imploding, the number of companies
actively operating in the market seems to
be decreasing. This is frankly because the
people who run the companies, for better
or worse, have been as die-hard as the
enthusiasts who make up the buying public
(within the market itself).
For this reason the number of active
companies has been held at an abnormally
high level simply because the business
owners wanted to be in the market. They
were not taking the necessary. business
decisions and getting out while the getting
was good.
This causes a lot of pain and anguish. both
personally and from a business viewpoint.
Businesses have to be run properly
otherwise they crash and burn. But i t is
personally painful for a dedicated RISC OS
person to let something they care about go.
On the other hand there have been forces
building up within the successful RISC OS
companies. These activities whether
business- or development-wise are coming
to fruition and it is all happening at the
same time.
It is a crux, it could be explosive or it could
fizzle out. Knowing what I know about the
various things that are going on I expect
the former. An explosive expansion in a
number of sectors which will drive those
businesses forward and take RISC OS with
them.
What we end up with after that I cannot
really say. Here's to the RISC OS
supernova.
