Has anything else been heard from Acorn re the BBC roms?  It seems a bit
paranoid of them to be concerned about releasing the roms for a dead
machine - even if they plan to support it on their new machines.  Do Acorn
seriously expect people to buy hardware now just because it's compatible
with a machine that's well over 10 years old?  And even if a FEW people
are swayed by this - do the few make that great a difference to the bottom
line?  Maybe Acorn is in a financial hole - and sees us as a money
spinning idea.  Hey, they should pay us for promoting awareness of Acorn's
machines <grin>.
