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.

The RISC OS Banner Network has moved to a new address.
