There's been a fair bit going on over the past few days that we have not had time to write about.
New Risc PCs
APDL have sourced a limited number of brand new Risc PCs. These are all unused, in the original packaging and have been stored since new. The specification is: 233Mhz StrongARM; RISC OS 4.02; 4.3GB hard disc, CD ROM drive, 2MB VRAM and 64MB DRAM. Machines are priced at 259UKP with 15UKP postage, and one years warranty.

A9 Roadshow
The next stop for the A9 roadshow will be RONWUG (North West) on Wednesday 15th June at 7PM at Trafford Metrovick Rugby and Cricket Club. [Details]

What I'm wondering is how APDL came to have a load of brand new Risc PCs which were stored since new? Who would store such things, and why? |

You'll probably find that they were in the back of a warehouse somewhere, and forgotten about. Either that, or they were saved for someone who now doesn't want them. |

Just a note to say that RONWUG welcomes visitors and doesn't charge an entrance fee so it's a great chance to see the A9home if you can get to south Manchester (Sale) - and there is plenty of on-site parking space. |
