RISC OS South West show incoming By Chris Williams. Published: 19th Feb 2003, 23:04:53 | Permalink | PrintableWe kid ye not. This Saturday. Ok, we're a news website, right? Well we try. We usually and most of the time get emails from people announcing their stuff, it's called PR. Apparently, there's a RISC OS show going down in the South West of England this weekend. We say apparently, because after we were asked if we were going, we felt the urge to rip off a famous t-shirt joke, that is, we went all the way to acornsearch.com for a url and all we got was this lousy page. Suffice to say we were expecting something a little more like this but it appears beggers most certainly cannot be choosers. There's not even an exhibitors list, for crying out loud. Instead all the info is actually on csa.announce. Comp.sys.acorn.Announce, reporting all the hard news since, um, whenever it started.
While we send the South West show's website back to 1996 (the real days of the web), let's look at the facts. The South West RISC OS show is taking place this weekend (Saturday 22nd February) and is being organised by John Stonier (known for doing a good job) along with the Bristol Acorn Risc User Group and Wessex ARM User Group. The event is being hosted at the Webbington Hotel, Loxton, nr Axbridge, North Somerset. You can also count on a free bus shuttle service running from 9:30am to 4pm and operating between Weston-super-Mare train station and the show.

The show also features a Games Arcade area and a 4 hour theatre programme. How very exciting, it looks like a worth while show if you're in the area that Saturday. VirtualAcorn emailed us to tell us that a muchly updated version (1.4) of their A5000 emulator software for Windows PCs will made a debut at the show. They'll be bundling more goodies on their CD as well as improving the audio, graphics, CD drive handling and floppy disc handling side of the emulator. Incidentally Castle, we're told, have included pricing details of a 700 quid (inc. VAT) Iyonix motherboard as well as other things like Oregano2 single user copy, in a note that comes with their HAL sources if you requested a copy.
If you do go to the show, feel free to drop us an email afterwards on what happened.
