NEWS FROM ACORN COMPUTERS: RELEASE DATE 17TH NOVEMBER 1993 Acorn Offers Schools #100 Cash Back for Christmas ================================================= Acorn Computers is offering schools the chance to receive #100 cash back against each new 33 MHz Acorn A5000 system purchased between November 12th and December 24th 1993. Details of the offer and a voucher are being mailed directly to every primary and secondary school in the UK. To benefit from this special seasonal bonus, schools must purchase one or more Acorn 33 MHz A5000 computers from their local Acorn Education dealer between November 12th and December 24th 1993. They should then complete the voucher details and send it, together with the original dealer invoice, to Acorn Computers, to arrive no later than 31st January 1994. In return, participating schools will receive a #100 cheque for each system purchased under the Acorn Cash Back for Christmas offer. There is no limit to the number of claims a school may make, provided each is supported by a valid dealer invoice. The Acorn Cash Back for Christmas offer is open only to educational establishments, not to individuals or other organisations, and applies only to purchases of the new, faster 33MHz A5000 systems. The increase in speed provided by the new Acorn 33 Mhz A5000 computer, announced in September this year, means performance can be increased by up to a third, compared with the original 25 Mhz models. In addition, design improvements included in the 33 MHz system mean that RAM can now be easily upgraded to 8 MBytes. For queries, or a full copy of the rules of the Acorn Cash Back for Christmas offer, schools should contact their local Acorn Education dealer or ring the #100 Cash Back Hotline on 0223 254423.
