E28.20 These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various

E26.75 brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the

E39.00 cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of

E77.55 the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long

E49.95 time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually

E33.50 486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account

E46.99 (and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway). Get free carriage

E49.95 If you also take a monitor (the 'b' Indicates an additional E10 carriage charge). Keyboard,

E64.95 mouse and mains cable included. Single slice machines do not have backplanes unless

E35_95 specified. Ethernet cards etc. can be taken out If not required. There is a three month

E56.95 warranty on these machines and they are supplied a s seen', so to speak. All details are

subject to change and please check availability before ordering.

Our refilled cartridge had a 45m1 capacity and was supplied by Inkcycle T h e extra

capacity made us expect a much bigger yield and we were not surprised by the

2052 pages it managed. The larger refill cartridge achieved over 1,300 extra printed

pages but cost El 0 less than the smaller HP cartridge. The text quality was very

similar and we found it hard to tell the original and the third party prints apart."

Reasons to be cheerful: as I write this we

are just one week away from the Guildford

show that was so exciting last year. And

we're hoping for another bumper event.

This time we are certainly looking

forward to one or two exciting revelations. I

was looking forward to two or three but it

turns out that one of them has already been

revealed, as mentioned in last month's Stop

Press.

Impression has been the mainstay of

RISC OS word processing and DIP for a

very long time. It is not as good a word

processor as Tech Writer and it's not as

good a DIP program as Ovation Pro. But it

was the first and many people swear by it.

When it was first designed it was revolu-

tionary in ease of use and in capabilities.

Well perhaps its capabilities have been

exceeded by other programs but, for me at

least, its ease of use hasn't been.

The context sensitive pointer which

means that there is no requirement for

toolboxes specifying "text" or 'frame"

editing which you find in all other DIP

programs. It's extremely flexible style

system all these add up to an excellent

program.

Of course no one knew, when it was

created, that the Acorn printer drivers

would not keep up and so, as a profes-

sional DIP tool, it falls down seriously

nowadays, whereas Ovation Pro most

certainly is a very professional design tool,

and programmable as well.

So Paul Reuvers of X-Ample Technology

in the Netherlands has succeeded in

acquiring the rights to develop Impression.

To convert it to 32-bit (thus removing

another "reason' for not upgrading to the

lyonix); to remove long-standing bugs and

irritations; and hopefully to develop it

further. Perhaps we'll even get an undo

function, just one level would be nice.

24 Hard disk backup

Everyone tells you you should backup

your data, can it be done more easily?

25 Archos video

Getting video grabbed and into your

RISC OS machine isn't easy but it can

be done.
