- This article didn't get much of a response in C.S.A, so I will now try
- posting it in the correct group :-) Apologies if you have read it before.
- There is some more tacked on the end though....
-
- Can anyone comment on Eureka? How does it compare to using, say, Pipedream?
- I know someone who is looking for a spreadsheet proggy and wanted to know if
- Eureka is any good. Comments much appreciated.
-
- Anyone out there got Pendown Plus? Do you think it could cope with small
- reports/essays? Or do I need Impression (or Impress. Jnr)? Someone
- mentioned that Icon Technology give a student discount on Techwriter. Can
- anyone remember how much of a discount it is?
-
- Also, could an A5000 owner tell me how the ARM3 is connected (Surface
- mount/PGA/?). If it is Surface mount, does anyone know if you can get surface
- mount PGA sockets? More importantly does anyone know a dealer willing to fit
- such a socket to an A5000. Would it invalidate the warranty?
-
- Thanks in advance.

- [additional bit]
-
- Are we going to get a press release from ARMLtd. about the use of ARM2's in
- this new 3DO Console? A few (gasp) technical details perhaps? The byte
- article mentioned the use of "proprietary" graphics chipset. Could this be
- the first commercial use of the new VIDC?
-
- Acorn, (bit hopeful this :-) are there any plans to replace the A540? Be
- nice to know what you are working towards (I don't expect I'll get an
- answer to that, ho hum).
