I have been following the Norwich Computer Services / RISC OS 3.10 saga
with a remote degree of interest, but this month's Archive magazine really
amazed me.

In the editorial, the editor says that customers should not ring up NCS
to complain about lack of RISC OS 3.1 upgrades, but should actually ring
up the Acorn switchboard to complain (and gives the phone number in the back
of the magazine).

Surely if he wants more upgrades, Mr Beverley should use all his powers
of charm and persuasion on Acorn (or more accurately, Hugh Symmons), rather
than making NCS very unpopular by flooding Acorn's switchboard with point-
less phone calls.

(Later on in the magazine, he states that he hopes to fulfil all orders by
Christmas! Even existing orders are not expected to be fulfilled until the
end of November).
