News in from
Cerilica [4] and it's very good news indeed...
Cerilica Vantage new pricing
Following on from the great reception to Cerilica's premier product re-alignment at the Wakefield show, we are pleased to announce the package's new format and amazing price.
The Wakefield show saw the launch of Vantage's on-CD electronic
manual format. The CD now contains three PDF full manuals, each optimised for on-screen viewing and printing through commercial and freeware applications such as Cerilica's RiScript, !PDF and Adobe's Acrobat. This change in product format has allowed the base price of Vantage to drop significantly from the previous 241.50ukp to
177.50ukp (UK, including package, postage and VAT).
For those who prefer to read a physical
manual, the option to purchase the comprehensive 230+ page item is still available at 25.00ukp (UK, fully inclusive). This option is especially attractive to German-language customers who are now able to purchase a fully translated and printed manual exclusively from our German distributors, a4com (see below).
All customers of Cerilica Vantage will gain full access to the forthcoming major release, Vantage 1.10 which was previewed at Wakefield. More information on the upgrade along with some new sample images may be found at
here [5]
Cerilica's ordering and product pages now reflect the product's change in format and price change with a new downloadable order form in PDF, Drawfile and plain text formats (see later).Orders may be placed directly by phone, e.mail and post with comprehensive credit and debit card facilities available.
Finally, Cerilica Vantage was recently described in Acorn Publisher's recent comprehensive Vantage review issue as "
In real terms, at less than two thirds the price of its closest peer, Vantage is underpriced." With this price drop, Vantage can only be described as an absolute bargain!

a4com translates the Vantage manual into German
Many thanks to a4com, Cerilica's German distributor, for taking a large amount of time to
translate our premier product's manual into German. The 220+ page printed item is now exclusively available from a4com at a very reasonable price and is supplied with associated software region resources to ensure all of Vantage's menus and text are also translated. Please refer to

Wakefield Show results
The annual large
RISC OS [9] event took place at Wakefield on the 18/19th May. This very friendly event was organised as ever by the recently re-named Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club. A huge thanks to everybody who helped make the event such a success and painless experience for all visitors and exhibitors alike!
The event proved to be our most successful show to date - even selling out of the newly re-aligned Cerilica Vantage by lunchtime on the first day. It was good to see not only familiar but also new faces.
We are currently getting the new stock of Vantage in place to send out to show customers as soon as possible. All those awaiting their sold-out product purchased at the show will hopefully receive them by the 29th May at the latest (although printed Vantage manuals may be sent on slightly later due to print lead-times). Thank you for your patience.
And for those who visited the Cerilica stand to see the Nucleus case on the corner of the sales desk, it can be confirmed that it was a fully working Castle-supplied Kinetic machine working within. This machine is now used by Cerilica to demonstrate its products and technology to non-RISC OS companies. And sorry - this one-off
prototype is not for sale!
