RISC User 9:7: Editorial column An editorial column by Richard Hallas predicting a major rise in popularity of the World Wide Web along with increased commercial use; written in May 1996, the column may have been considered mildly prophetic had it actually been printed! In the end, a column with greater direct relevance to Acorn was used. |

RISC User 11:3: Editorial column Another unused editorial column by Richard Hallas, dating from February 1998 and concerned mainly with Oracle's poor handling of its NC idea. This editorial was discarded in favour of a column with a stronger message, but with Acorn's subsequent demise and the failure of the NC idea in mind, it makes quite interesting reading. |

RISC User 11:6: Front cover The original plan for this issue was to feature Phantasm on the cover; this is the design that would have been used had it not been supplanted by the Wakefield Show montage. The spinning top graphic was created by Nick van der Walle of Astute Graphics, using ArtWorks and Phantasm. |

RISC User 11:8: News pages The third page of news in this issue was replaced at the last minute by some late details concerning the Acorn Workstations rescue plan. This is the previous incarnation of the News pages, with a few extra stories intact. |

RISC User volume 12: Front cover This cover, created by Jill Regan (aka Wandering Jelly), was designed to mark the arrival of the IMS Peanut laptop computer. Unfortunately the Peanut was never launched, and hence the cover was not used. It is interesting to compare this cover with the one that was designed subsequently for issue 12:8, in which Reversi counters are used instead of peanuts to create the Acorn logo. |
