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.
