The Acorn User Exhibition has established itself as the biggest event in the BBC micro user's calendar, and this year we've been working harder than ever to make it the best yet, for public and exhibitors. For the first time the exhibition is organised directly by Redwood Publishing, the publishers of Acorn User, and features several innovations. There's a series of seminars covering aspects of computing from wordprocessing through music, to programming. For teachers and the trade we've introduced a specific first day so people get the chance to concentrate on those special interests. Then there's a locator service to help visitors find the products they want among the thousands on offer. All these are new ideas so let us know what you think. If there are others you'd like to see us put into action next year, simply write to me at Acorn User. And just as we've been trying to boost the Exhibition, Acorn has come up trumps with the public launch of the Archimedes, the company's first step into the 32-bit arena, and already hailed as the fastest micro in the world. So whether you're an old hand, or on the look-out for a new micro, we've got the lot. Acorn User magazine is on stand 29, where staff and authors will be on hand for the whole of the four days. Welcome, I'm sure you'll enjoy your visit. Tony Quinn Editor ACORN USER
