Second hand machines:
These machines have mainly come from schools and businesses. As such there are various
brandings, labels, markings, scratches, very occassional broken bits (e.g. front flaps) on the
cases. AH machines have been generally cleaned and air dusted inside to get rid of most of
the dust, however the cases have not been meticulously cleaned as this would take a long
time and increase the prices considerably. Any machines which have PC cards are usually
486 cards, but as these are basically worthless, their value has not been taken into account
(and they might not have all the software on the disc to work them anyway).

Eternal optimism is the key to a happy life. A pessimist may be right more
often but an optimist has more fun. As Steve Turnbull once said "I wouldn't
be able to do this job if I didn't believe we could win".
I am very happy to say that the the first steps in that "winning" have been
taken. There are a lot of them and some of them we still can't tell you about
but the movement is finally beginning to occur.
It was about this time last year that we discovered that Simtec were
working on a USB card, and it was at the Wakefield Show that suddenly
Castle popped up with theirs, with versions they were handing out to
developers.
Mike Cook got one and he has been working with it over the past months,
unfortunately the software side (as I write) had still not been finalised. But
Simtec have announced the release of their card, and there is a review in
this very issue.
Hardware is the key to the future in different ways. New software is nice, of
course, but it is a fact that new hardware is the thing that makes us users
really sit up and take notice, and spend money.
I admit to being a fan of the 70's band Steely Dan, I'm listening to some of
their earliest music, and the track playing right now has the title: "There's
more to come".
