Somebody stole my brand new Apricot Xen-LS II 486 computer from a storage facility in Sussex last night. It was there awaiting shipment with our other belongings to Germany this week. I will happily pay FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS if someone recovers it intact and/or provides information leading to a conviction. [Normal "rules" apply to this reward offer - whatever they are...] Unfortunately I hadn't had time to set up the security gizmo which comes with the thing. Ironic, huh? Please spread the word and if you're a magazine contributor reading this you might give me a little publicity as I'd been coveting one of these machines for years and finally had the wherewithall to buy it... Serial Numbers: System Box (486-33, 16Mb RAM, 240Mb HD, 3.5" Floppy, Sony CD-ROM) SF74897 172767 Monitor (17" EVGA Apricot) X5A49906000000 239040 Software Installed: MS-DOS 6.0 Windows for Workgroups WordPerfect 6.0 WordStar for Windows Quattro Pro for Windows Various other bits and pieces. Thanks David P.S. If anyone can arrange for me to be alone with the perpetrators and a blunt instrument for a few minutes then I might stretch to a few more squids...
