Betty: Glad that Brian has confirmed to you that he has A 1200s in stock. That is reassuring! Exeter is about 100 miles from where I live in Winchester and I haven't been down that way recently. You asked me some time ago if I was a member of ICPUG…
Peter: I guess that 1000 pounds inc. VAT is a pretty good price if that includes a monitor and a decent size HD but you really have to scrutinise the fine print for all the hidden extras nowadays. I note that Escom has a front page ad. in the D.…
Steve: No. I haven't been into an Escom store as yet but can visualise them from your'graphic' description! I note that Escom has an ad. on the front page of the D. Telegraph today, 10 May, telling people to watch out for further announcements – presumably, another couple of hundred…

Hello Rob: OK about your location in Bloomington Indiana. My wife and I will be be flying into Orlando where we shall rent a car and travel on to visit friends in Oviedo and Sarasota. We shall be there 7-8 days some time between 20 and 30 Nov. most probably.…
Rob: Thanks for your further thoughts. It sounds as though your desk is pretty much like mine! It needs a lot of planning to be able to move the A 3000 forward and take it out of its case. I do have another job to do when it is out.…
Gary: I have also heard good reports about the Picasso II. The latest Retina is also said to be good but has the major disadvantage of not having a `pass thru' for the monitor thus you really need two monitors in order to avoid having to swop connectorsall the time……
Gary: I have been thinking about a graphics card for my A 3000 and I am equally confused about which one to go for, if any. Have you read the review of all the cards in the latest Amiga Shopper? I have and I am still confused! Bob
