Let's put it this way -- BOB is now claiming (May issue of FORMAT)
that he sent the disc back to Nigel ALL 3 TIMES and the second time
he sent a different disc. He also seems to have no idea whatsoever
about statutory consumer rights -- which is something I'll have a
look at from a legal angle soon to sort him out. If he's selling
damaged or bugged goods, people shouldn't have to send a "customary"
SAE as he puts it in order to get them fixed -- he sells them in that
state, he should foot the bill. Nuff said.

Erm.. possibly. We're working on hardware with him on our own -- the
Hard Drive, Accelerator, Graphics board, new SAM-OmniBus, SAM
Multiface add-on for the accelerator and lots more are
Entropy/Rooksoft/Blue Alpha developments -- Entropy and Rooksoft
inventing them, Blue Alpha mass producing them. Apart from the hard-
drive that is -- Entropy's just designing and coding the BIOS ROM for
it. Oh, and the DOS.

BTW: For entropy, should that read "Simon Cooke?" Possibly. I do too
much that I could farm out to other people :)

Erm.... well, it's got loadsa bugs, no documentation of a technical
nature, and the wordprocessor is*SERIOUSLY* bugged.
