subject to any final last minute hitches the first release will be made
in time for the Wakefield Show in May this year.

Wakefield 2006 that is.

I rather resent my 'wasted' Select subscriptions and see my purchase of
an A9home as a potential waste of money. My Select subscription is up
for renewal soon and presents a hard choice. One the one hand it is
obviously stupid to continue to support such a waste of space but I do
have a reluctance to finally pull the plug, I do like RISC OS and
Select. What would really make me cross is to shell out another £99 and
still get nothing, my level of expectation is such that I can believe
that of ROL.

Just what is next from ROL, is it just OS4.39 from the 32bit source,
RO6pv with printing and Viewfinder support.

Richard's original post is very sad. Had he bought an Iyonix, and not an
A9omega, it may not have had to have been written.

Sent in sorrow.
