I never understood those who would buy things such as a complete M512 
just to... keep it. I mean, what's the point if it doesn't provide you 
with service?

Of course, when I look at the prices that are fetched for stuff I used 
to play with when I was a kid - an original Donkey Kong brought back 
from Osaka before it was available in Europe (! plus instructions that 
were completely incomprehensible!), AstroWarriors which was a sort of 
fluorescent game display panel beneath a giant magnifying glass 
'screen'... Wow.
But the Valiant Turtle fetching something like ?125+ on eBay recently - 
that's just mind-boggling.

I'd be interested if anybody had any bits of ARX. It'd be interesting to 
see what was envisaged and how far it got (and how much it differs from 
RISC OS).


Best wishes,

Rick.
