Vol 1, Issue 1
The CD-ROM magazine for RISC OS users.
Welcome to the first ever issue of RISC World, the CD-ROM magazine for all users of Acorns and other RISC OS computers - and how exciting it is to finally have RISC OS running on non-Acorn hardware. The arrival of the RiscStation has certainly sent a buzz round the market, and with the Mico coming soon and other developments in the pipeline, it's an exciting time to be starting up a new magazine.
