This article didn't get much of a response in C.S.A, so I will now try
posting it in the correct group :-) Apologies if you have read it before.
There is some more tacked on the end though....

Can anyone comment on Eureka? How does it compare to using, say, Pipedream?
I know someone who is looking for a spreadsheet proggy and wanted to know if
Eureka is any good. Comments much appreciated.

Anyone out there got Pendown Plus? Do you think it could cope with small
reports/essays? Or do I need Impression (or Impress. Jnr)? Someone
mentioned that Icon Technology give a student discount on Techwriter. Can
anyone remember how much of a discount it is?

Also, could an A5000 owner tell me how the ARM3 is connected (Surface
mount/PGA/?). If it is Surface mount, does anyone know if you can get surface
mount PGA sockets? More importantly does anyone know a dealer willing to fit
such a socket to an A5000. Would it invalidate the warranty?

Thanks in advance.

[additional bit]

Are we going to get a press release from ARMLtd. about the use of ARM2's in
this new 3DO Console? A few (gasp) technical details perhaps? The byte
article mentioned the use of "proprietary" graphics chipset. Could this be
the first commercial use of the new VIDC?

Acorn, (bit hopeful this :-) are there any plans to replace the A540? Be
nice to know what you are working towards (I don't expect I'll get an
answer to that, ho hum).
