Good day ,eh!
   I read about a computer called the Archimedes 310 in BYTE(R) magazine
last year, and managed to buy one. It is a RISC machine, with a 32bit bus
and proprietary operating system named Arthur. I am informed by the company's
agents in North America, Olivetti, that some others have been sold here too.
If so, and if these folks are reading this, would you be interested in sharing
info/software/tips, etc.?
   Please E-mail to me at the below address (unless you wish 
to begin a discussion right here on comp.sys.misc, of course). I understand
that there are quite a few Archimedes users in the U.K. -- do you have
your own news.group and if so, how may I join in?
   Acorn have sold a micro called the BBC in the 
past (didn't do well here, I hear),
and are also making an Archimedes 400 series as a workstation.
I am satisfied of the potential of my A310, and people I have showed
it to are impressed with its speed and great graphics and sound. More
later if there is interest.
