Category: Press Release

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.
