Subject: Re: Acorn Promo Videos

Great Stuff!!

What a nice interview with Roger about the Arm...

Fred : "So it took you about 4 years [to develop the Arm]?
Roger : "No, it actually took us 2" hehe

But what was Fred insinuating here...?
"And they've included a 'copy' key; something that will keep the
programmers happy..."

Thanks for these - made a weekend at work go a little quicker! :-)

Tim.
