Sounds like Castle have their marketing/PR hat on. I'm just waiting for the "1st anniversary" second free iyonix prize draw. Either that or a faster iyonix :) |

In an act of treason I was looking at that scan with Mozilla Firebird on a Linux box - and the computer totally locked up! Subliminal advertising? ;) I don't know why I downloaded it at all really, because I've got a paper version infront of me... |

The seem to have nicked postal details for Drobe users, because I got one in the post (I live in New Zealand) - I wonder if they deliver for free ;-) I also wonder if they will extend the offer until the 29th of February 2004 for no other reason than it's my birthday... |

I think thats where they got the mailing list from, possibly also from the people who bought stuff from them recently? |

I'm still amazed that a RISC OS company is doing anything so radical as advertising. What do they thnk it is, Christmas?! |

Yes, I think I might have filled that in...my memory isn't what is used to be :-) This isn't the first time I've recieved mail about a RISC OS product. VirtualAcorn sent me a rather nice flyer when they launched VirtualA5000. Still it was about the last thing I was expecting to see in my mailbox. |

It might still arrive yet. I got mine a couple of weeks ago now, I think. |

Mine arrived about a month ago, but it came along with one of those very narrow wide brochures and it had the address label on the shrink wrapping not on the actual flyer. |

The one in the scanning above, which the sent to me, wasn't in a shrink wrap, just as an A4 piece of glossy paper, folded in half with the address label where you see it on the scan. |

I got one of those brochures the first time (nearly a year ago now), and this flyer came like Andy's did. Now here's the important question: has it persuaded you to buy from Castle??? |

I think it would be better if there was a brand like Acorn on there which they could use. This could give a sense of continuity, unity, independence etc as well as the loyalty issue. |

The printer looks interesting; does anyone know which model is it, exactly? Looking at http://www.konicaminoltaprinters.co.uk/upload/printer.htm I'd guess it was the 2350? For German readers; the 2300W is on offer in the Metro for about 550 Euro this week (but presumably useless without a Windows PC). |
