- RISC OS 3.10 upgrades seem to be in rather short supply in this country!
- Watford Electronics held a grand opening of their new Headquarters the
- other day, and didn't have a single upgrade.
-
- I think the supply situation is extremely erratic. I phoned up a dealer
- last night, and he brought up the subject of upgrades. He is supplied
- directly by Acorn, and has no upgrades. The swear-words which he
- directed towards Acorn are unrepeatable!!
-
- My local dealer had large numbers in stock. Maybe he still has.
- I bought several and ended up shipping them all to friends, before
- buying more sets for myself!
-
- Of course the lack of upgrades might make people look harder at the
- new machines. Perhaps this is deliberate??
-
- Simon.
