As for the 1.0 empire, RISC OS is we! even managed to get updated. And I hope you all enjoyed the green Iconbar yesterday :)
Meanwhile, Martin Dann announced the latest of his software - ScanUsingPrinter. "!ScanUsingPrinter allows you to scan in a document using your printer", says Martin. "Due to the way this works, ScanUsingPrinter uses some of the quantum mechanical properties of light, this software will unfortunately only work on laser printers." This follows on from his other software, ProcessorSpeedUp, and ExtraHardDisc (which has sadly been removed, so keep hold of your copy if you downloaded it). Unfortunately, Nick Boalch (Backup Moderator of comp.sys.acorn.announce) had a few things to say about it.
And despite first appearances, if you rang up STD before 12 noon and said "looflirpa", you did indeed get £5 off their MP3 player. Which is real. Which took Drobe and TIB most of the day to figure out. Ah well.
In real news, Drobe has informed everyone of new releases of Digital CD and KinoAMP. There has also been a new developer release for ROX-Filer, and an announcement that 95% of programs on wimpbasic.org now work with Aemulor. ConfiX, the universal configuration utility, has also had a major update. Finally, and it's not an April Fool, promise, Acorn User are recruiting!
