Goodward Associates and 4-sale-gb.com would like to announce their great new way of advertising on the net.

They provide a quick and simple way to place your classified adverts.

Although they do have a small fee to place your adverts, they currently offer all their services for FREE!

Note: Best of all, they are RISC OS converts too!

BAUG (prn. "borg"), the Bottisham Acorn User Group, will be meeting on Tuesday 12th February to take a look at programming in WIMP Basic. This is a second look at Clares's excellent desktop programming environment.

Note: We will not be assimilated ;)

The Wakefield Acorn Computer Group has recently changed its name to "Wakefield RISCOS Computer Club". After a debate at the AGM in January, the members voted to change the name to reflect the new era of our faviourite computer platform.

The Wakefield Show will be held on Saturday and Sunday 18th and 19th of May 2002. Opening times will be 10:30-17:30 and 10:30-16:00 on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Please note it in your diaries now!

This announcement has been delayed partly due to several organisers' work committments and the recent sad loss of Mike Wilson who was our publicity officer. Companies or shareware authors interested in taking space at the show should now contact the address below.

Just a quick note to inform everyone that there will be a meeting of the Manchester Acorn User Group this Wednesday evening, 19th December.

This meeting will be entirely informal, with a wide variety of things to see and talk about:

• Arm Linux on Bush STB
  
• Magazine roundup
  
• My RISC OS
  
• Discussion
  

Until recently, RiscDomain has been a rather sporadic publication, missing it's published deadlines by quite a bit. In a recent announcement though, Dave Bradforth, owner, publisher and wizzard in charge has decided that the mag is to come out monthly, with a firm set of titles for each edition.

Introducing: Your new Editor for Acorn User Magazine


Mr Michael Stubbs

In preparation for Christmas, the Cerilica web site has received some useful updates aimed at both existing and potential customers. Some new resources have been uploaded for Vantage users including a native file copy of the new great looking Cerilica pamphlet.


Cerilica is also due to attend the last RISC OS show of the year held in the Midlands. Thanks go, once more, to the ARM Club for organising this event.

It is with regret that I have to announce that I will not, after all, be editing Acorn User magazine.

When it was announced that I would edit the magazine a group of us were at an advanced stage of negotiations with a director of Tau Press to purchase Acorn User magazine. We understood that it had been agreed that two of our group would work on the magazine for a limited time prior to purchase. Soon after the announcement was made it became clear that Tau Press no longer had any interest in such an agreement. They were no longer willing to sell the magazine.

Acorn User today announced that John Cartmell has joined the team as editor of the best-selling magazine for RISC OS users. He is at present assisting in the production of the
Christmas Issue of the magazine and will take over editorial control of Acorn User in time for the first issue of 2002. John has contributed to the News and Graphics columns of the magazine for over 12 months and has also written the RISC OS 4+ previews for the My RISC OS web portal.




Readers of the Acorn newsgroups may have noticed that John has already asked there for ideas that could be used to improve Acorn User and we would
like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who took the trouble to respond to that request. Some of those ideas will find their way into the magazine from January onwards.

According to RISCOS Ltd. Funding has been secured for the RON (RISC OS on Netbook) project. This project will now be going ahead.

Cerilica will naturally be attending the largest RISC OS Show to be held in the South of England on the 20/21st October. Being the first show that Cerilica Vantage (RISC OS' latest 'killer app') will be available over the counter, we are ensuring all visitors will have a great chance to see the package perform before their eyes. For this show, TRUISM 2.5 will presented for the first time illustrating exactly why Vantage will bring RISC OS into new professional publishing arenas. Optimisation has also taken place for users of the ViewFinder video graphics upgrade to provide enhanced redraw speeds.
