Acorn's Future Technologies: Magazine Disc version The full version of the Dave Walker interview, as published on the RISC User disc for this issue |

Acorn's Future Technologies: Uncut version (previously unpublished) After giving this interview, Acorn felt that it may have revealed too many secrets about its new technologies; the company wanted to have a few surprises left when the new products were launched! Therefore, the full version of the interview, as published on the RISC User Disc, was itself slightly chopped down. The document presented here is the uncut original version from which the others were derived, and is around 400 words longer than the "full" version published on the Magazine Disc. |

Toolbox Topics: unpublished final instalment This final article in the Toolbox Topics series was never published because it depended on a software update from Acorn being included on the Magazine Disc, and unfortunately it was not possible to obtain the necessary permission from Acorn in time for the publication deadline. |
