And thanks for the 2 x MC's delivered so far! :...

Is the information already send? I didn't receive any meeting details ....

Not yet! I'll send them after I've had my pizza!

As you don't see too many 10 hour conferences comprised almost exclusively of ex-Acorn/Acornsoft speakers nowadays(!) I figured I'd also post the links from the 5th September Virtual ABug here, for the benefit of anyone that doesn't follow the posts in the events sections ... http://abug.org.uk/wp-c...

Oops, forgot to post the link to the sign up thread for Acorn Dev night #5 ... see below

Hi Ian. I used to format my Solidisk Winchesters on a BBC using the Beeb version of the Solidisk Winchester Utilities disc (which I've attached).

Is there an agenda yet? I've been quite tied up this week and haven't approached anybody about presenting and so far, only Kees and Tricky have indicated they have something to show. There's no masterclass either so tonight's session will be pretty much open. We'll probably stick to the following b...

Hi, there's a bit of a backlog as I still need to release the previous month's recordings (which have taken a long time to edit due to a Zoom glitch amongst other factors).
