- Hum. I would normally agree. However their waiting list for RISC OS 3.10
- is over 850 people long, and they haven't shipped a single upgrade (now
- of course the upgrades have all been recalled from them, so customers will
- have an even longer wait!).
-
- Archive published details of the upgrades before the actual launch took
- place, and thus secured a large proportion of the orders for upgrades.
-
- (NB Normally I would agree that they offer good service to most people).
-
- Simon.
- PS Why have non-A5000 RISC OS 3.1 upgrades been recalled from dealers?
