Still no mention of these products on their website. Some RISC OS companies have a real problem understanding PR. *Why* on earth put out a press release and then have no supporting info on the website? And they still have that infuriating ADSL pop-up advert on their site. -- Gavin Smith, Carrickfergus SparkY on 17/2/03 12:45PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

I'm not a fan of R-Comp's website. It still has frames, an inconsistent layout and as SparkY points out, isn't kept up to date. jonix on 17/2/03 2:02PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

How many RISC OS dealers websites look respectable? Some of R-Comp's web site is quite nice but you'd think it'd be better considering they publish several web authoring tools! Snig on 18/2/03 11:45AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

[link] have some excellent web authoring software for RISC OS, and a very nice website to match -- Steve Knutson knutson on 18/2/03 7:03PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

www.rcomp.co.uk received a major update today, and the front page has been altered to become more of a site map, making it easier to navigate. I suspect that it felt like it wasn't up to date because things were hard to find - lots of people failed to find UniPrint information which has been there for months. There's a full section for Datapower 2, including tutorials, manuals, downloads, examples, RISC OS and Windows reader-versions, as well as ordering factilities. As regards site design, 75% of web design is creative gfx skills, which is something the RISC OS market lacks as a whole. Whenever we have investigated getting a site redesign, people tend to get bogged down in the number of products and sections to do. No excuse, of course, but life is much simpler if you only have half a dozen pages and some graphics skill! arawnsley on 18/2/03 7:43PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Coo, thanks for letting us know Chris, drobe.co.uk diomus on 18/2/03 8:27PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Oooh, that site map makes things easier As for lack of graphic design skills, well, a 'mininalist' design is often a good cover for this. It's what I do moss on 18/2/03 8:34PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Argh! Sorry. That was NOT intentional. I was just trying to let you know that the ad popup is now random, so that most times you won't see it. Note to drobe editors - any chance that logged-in users can edit their own posts? Or is it already possible. (/me would like to clear up my mistake) arawnsley on 19/2/03 12:35PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

I've removed the screwed up comment. Editting of comments (and including links in comments) is certainly on the (long) todo list. Chris, drobe.co.uk diomus on 19/2/03 1:08PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

In this review Andrew weighs up much-improved graphics and sound against playability and stability.
