!Second hand machines and components:
These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various
brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the
cases. All machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of
the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long
time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually
486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account
(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway). Get free carriage
If you also take a monitor (the 'ti• indicates an additional Eli) carriage charge). Keyboard,
mouse and mains cable included. Single slice machines do not have backpianes unless
specified. Ethernet cards etc. can be taken out if not required. There is a three month
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.

Note from the Editor
Snatching defeat from the
jaws of victory is a skill that
the British have in great
measure. Alongside the
inability to market properly,
sell well and generally do
business with any degree of
talent.
It seems to be something in
the British nature, a general
unwillingness to do anything
so crude as to actually try to
sell something to someone.
Anyone who has the job of
sales is regarded as a second-
class citizen at best, usually
more in the category of the
scum of the earth.
This is probably why
British-run companies in
general (there are a few
exceptions, of course) don't
measure up in the scheme of
things.
Selling is a skill and it is a
critically important skill in
business. I t is so obvious that
you wonder how anyone
could possibly miss its
importance: I f you don't sell
you don't make any money.
But then again making
money is another of those
things the British "reserve"
seems to object to, it is crass
and "low" to want to generate
income.
Once you have established a
company to produce
something the next step is
getting people to know of its
existence (which is your PR
and marketing) and then
selling it. As has been
mentioned in this editorial
more than once simply having
a good product does not get
the world beating a path to
your door.
Selling, may be a dirty
trade, without it there is no
commerce. There are problems
with it, sometimes you get
ripped off, when people lie
about the quality of their
goods and services. This can
give sales a bad name, but that
doesn't mean every sales
person, product or service is
bad. It just means you got
ripped off that time.
Being a salesman is not
generally considered a career
path, however it is a skill.
Sticking a hard disc under
someone's nose and going "It's
50 quid do you want it or
not?" and then blaming the
customer if they choose not to
buy is not selling. I t is the
route to business and personal
failure. No competent sales
person ever blames the
customer for a failed sale.
Selling involves bringing the
customer to a point where he
or she sees how the product
or service will be of benefit
and then, gently and
sensitively, doing the
"exchange of cash" thing.
Speaking of sales, thank you
for buying this new and
improved issue of Acorn User.
As you can see we have let
our designers lose on the
magazine and given it a
facelift, editorially too we
have given it a lift so take a
good look and enjoy!
