RISC World Volume 1 issue 3

Vol 1, Issue 3

The CD-ROM magazine for RISC OS users.

Just as this issue of RISC World was being finalised we heard the news that Spacetech had ceased trading. However, it's not as bad as it seems. Chris Hornby is hoping to start a new company, Photodesk Ltd., and this will continue with all the good work that Spacetech has done with printers and cameras plus, of course, Photodesk itself.

Because of the lack of staff it's not possible for the phone to be manned very often, but you can still write or email to sales@spacetech.co.uk and support is available via support@spacetech.co.uk
