First I would like to apologise

for the lateness of the last issue

of Acorn User. It was a

conspiracy, at least it left like a

conspiracy, of circumstances.

Hopefully this one will be on

time or, at least, closer to the

correct time bearing in mind

we are going to press over

Easter.

But this time we are looking

ahead again, there are opportu-

nities and new products which

make the whole RISC OS

market much more exciting.

In the news you will find a

feature on a whole new killer

app developed by someone

who's been in and around the

RISC OS market for a long

time, City Audio Services.

Julian Coleman is the man in

charge and he has created an

application that fills an

important need for tens of

thousands of companies across

the UK, and the World. Lots of

opportunity there.

Funnily enough, speaking of

killer apps, we received an e-

mail in early April from a US

company who have an

Archimedes computer doing an

extremely important job for

them. They feel they need to

replace it, not because it has

failed, but because it has

effectively out-lived the staff

that know how to support it.

And the company that wrote

the program in the first place.

We are, of course, in

discussion with them to

encourage them not to change

hut instead we will be seeking

someone who will be able to

help them support the existing

software and perhaps enhance

it with a new machine and a re-

write.

We have the Wakefield Show,

of course, a very exciting new

event where we are expecting

to find Omegas being

distributed. Well, the omens are

good at last, and the entrails of

the last PC we sacrificed

indicated good things to come.

Then there is Oregano 2. We

are reviewing that in this issue

as well, definitely rather closer

to the cutting edge of Web

technology if not actually

leaning over the edge and

looking at the view.

On the USB front we have

Stuart Tyrrell's USB MP3

player; Plus we are looking at

anti-spam in the form of the R-

Comp/Stuart Halliday collabo-

ration Featherman. This is a

way to wash out all the nasty

spam stains from your e-mail

leaving it whiter than white.

So there is a huge amount

going on in our RISC OS

market, many things that keep

our market cooking with

natural gas and have the

opportunity to bring more life

and more people back into our

world.

Enjoy.

Rob Donaldson
