My apologies for the wide distribution.. I'm not sure whether misc.wanted is carried across the pond to GB. Question: I need a contact in the UK for BBC Acorn Computer - I know they use it over there. A family here in Minneapolis picked one up at a garage sale for US dollar 20 last summer. Amazingly it works via a RF modulator onto their local TV screen (NTSC nontheless). They do have a Word processing package but don't have any way of storing stuff. Apparently they have a hard disk but no setup program to use it. Now - take this information with a grain of salt, the family in question isn't that technical - but I'm willing to act as a go between if you would be willing to help. I can be reached via e-mail or if you have problems posting from your site in the UK.. please try contacting me via 'news'. Thanks very much. -- Samudra E.
