Reply to thread Always a possibility of course. However I am less interested in the difference between the price compared to other systems, than getting the price as low as possible. By increasing it from £200 to £800 I am quartering the number of units an organisation could buy, and possibly quartering the number of people who could afford even a single unit. Of course this doesn't stop the bundle with an A9 being an optional product for those who want it, but one must still ask - could I emulate it on another portable machine for less? The emulation option allows the system to promote RISC OS without extra expense. ER Monty on 24/11/08 8:24PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Please login before posting a comment.

Undergraduate Edward Rogers hopes to sell his completed units for as little as 200 quid each to schools and families to allow more blind children to continue learning Braille. And he said he wanted to launch his venture using RISC OS-powered kit before offering a package for other platforms.  10 comments, latest by epokh on 27/6/09 12:49PM.
