Mark Smith has stepped down from the role of Chairman after many years in the role. Mark is to take on a special new role for the Club in the wider Acorn scene, information about which will unfold in due course. (Mysterious eh?) Filling Mark’s chair, is Toby Smith, erstwhile Membership Secretary. Toby has been a Club stalwart for many years, and you will probably have read much of his drivel on the pages of this magazine before. Matt Cook took on the role of Membership Secretary during 1998. New to the Club committee is Dave Walker, a figure you may all know from his time at Acorn. Dave’s knowledge and experience of Acorn machines, Acorn industry companies and Acorn users will obviously be of benefit to the Club. So, what is our Committee lacking now? It has a set of experienced computer people. It has a set of people who, it would seem, have done a good job of running the Club for the past years. It has a set of some of the most ‘famous’ names in the field. So what can we be missing? — You. We’ve got a lot of skills. A lot of knowledge. What we don’t have is a huge amount of time. Running a Club of this size is a large and complex task that takes a lot of our private time. As we get older, more responsibilities both at work and at home (and I speak here as newly married and newly re-employed) erode the time we can throw into the Club. As the cliché goes many hands make light work, so if there is anything you think you could do to help, please get in touch; we’d be happy to have you.

One of the most striking aspects of the new RISC PC is its case, designed under the auspices of Allen Boothroyd, who designed the original BBC Micro and was a force behind hi-fi manufacturer Meridian. It is made of tough Bayer Bayblend ABS/Polycarbonate, which is used to make riot shields. Internal surfaces are coated to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) but the external surface is an unpainted light grey. There is provision for screw-mounted peripherals inside but devices like CD-ROMs and hard disks will be clip-mounted Apple-style. Two twist-locking pins need to be turned 90° to get the case lid off. These can be padlocked and the case tethered. It takes less than a minute to open the case, swap processor modules and refit the lid, without any tools.

    Updated Virtualrpc Components for RISC OS 6

    ne of the main things that keeps me using my Risc PC is the versatility of the operating system - mainly due to it’s universal draw file format. For Oinstance I construct the centre pages in Artworks as this now has excellent PDF export facilities. However for proofing the magazine before it gets sent to the printers I like to do a printout to see if everything works properly. Because Artworks now can deal with multiple pages it is very easy to save each page either as an Artworks file or Draw file directly into the magazine’s Ovation Pro file by dragging and dropping. A two second job! Other computer platforms don’t generally have this facility of moving files directly into open application windows. Generally to move a file to another application you have to use the dreaded ‘save as’ filer window - choose a suitable format - navigate to where you need to save the file - save it - go to the other application - open a filer window - navigate to the saved file - open it in the new application. If you need to transfer a different file type you generally have to go through all that palaver again. Two seconds on RISC OS, thirty seconds on OS X or Windows. Draw is a great program with no real equivalent on a PC or Mac. For instance it can be put to good use in music for constructing objects the original program can’t do. I use the Sibelius music setting program on both RISC OS and Windows. The RISC OS still has one or two advantages over the PC version, one of which is it’s ability to export to Draw.
