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 'b' indicates an additional E10 carriage

charge). Keyboard, mouse and mains cable included. Single slice machines do not have

backplanes unless specified; two slice machines have four slot backplanes. Ethernet cards

etc. can be taken out if not required. There is a three month warranty on these machines and

they are supplied *as seen', so to speak. All details are subject to change and please check

availability before ordering. A7000(+) machines are also available — please ask for details.

January 2003 Issue 255

Editor's Comment

The lyonix PC is getting a fair old bit of coverage around and about the world. First on

SlashDot the famous news portal and then on the Guardian Online.

Creating a PR image is critically important for something like this, as it would be for

any new product. And if it is done right it can make a big difference to future sales.

There is nothing to be gained from placing a couple of adverts and. when they

don't generate any response. blaming everyone and his dog as to why they are too

stupid to realise what a great product you've got.

One thing an advert on its own doesn't have, generally, is credibility. This is

something that has to be built in the minds of the potential customer. And once it has

been built it can be traded for sales.

When someone buys something from you it is a matter of trust. They have to trust

you, that you are going to deliver what you have promised and, usually, what they

have already paid for.

Unfortunately that trust is all too often betrayed out there in the big bad world. And

when you are duped who gets blamed? Well sometimes it's the organisation that did

the duping but often you get blamed yourself. For having been stupid.

Like people who believe that someone in the Nigerian government would actually

e-mail them to arrange the transfer of billions of dollars. Do you really want to be that

stupid?

No. so you don't believe people when they say that a new and better mousetrap

has been built. But when someone else says "Hey, look over there. That guy has built

a better mousetrap!" Then you look.

Has he really? What are the benefits of this better mousetrap? Does it look nicer?

Is it better made? Does it trap more humanely? Can it trap more mice per hour than

the previous mousetrap? Is this just a souped-up model with a new spring or is it

genuinely something new?

Well, we genuinely have something new. So let's crow about it and get those news

items into every publication that we can. It's important.
