| Not sure if my captions worked before. "They did" -Ed. The A6+ looks nice - internal temperature is 44°C. The IYONIX panther (also very nice) is 26°C! Oregano 2 alpha - bug fixes - free maybe 2-3 months away. Flash 5, CSS 2 chargeable upgrades.

| Started with a demo of PCITV, Artworks etc. Showed photo prints, and Epson scanner. John ballance has a beta of USB 2! ARM hardware very important. Lots of companies use RISC OS for ARM, not the desktop. Hardware sales important to move the OS forward. They have a big project - 50000 units likely!

| Omega with network card drivers. It runs at 100 speed on Adjust, but not at all on RISC OS 4. There were some redraw problems when dragging windows. [picture didn't come out - Ed]
| USB 2 | Sent Sat, 15 May 2004 16:53:51 by Phil Mellor |
| High speed devices can be connected to an IYONIX. Hubs are not USB2 yet but it's being worked on. Castle haven't decided on the release yet.
| Oregano 2 | Sent Sat, 15 May 2004 16:59:40 by Phil Mellor |
| A new version. Ignore the version number but check the date! The screen redraw feels quite a bit faster.

| Looks very good -- it'll cost about 100ukp to upgrade (self-fit) a standard Iyonix, apparently. ;-( | IYONIX Panther | Sent Sat, 15 May 2004 18:38:28 by Chris Terran |

| Xample's kit enigma. It's great - led display, plug boards, and it beeps when you press a key! I want one. Also showing their HID software. You can control the mouse with a joypad! The wheel mouse is really smooth.
