Advance with the Acorn Pocket Book

Acorn Computers is offering a special product package consisting of the
Acorn Pocket Book, Schedule, A-link, mains adaptor and Advance, together
with one year's hotline support, all for only #249.95 inc VAT.

The promotion, which is valid from now until 31st December 1993, is designed
to appeal to existing users of Acorn's Archimedes range of computers. By
purchasing the special bundle, which combines Advance, Acorn's integrated
productivity suite for the Archimedes environment, with a full Pocket Book
package, current users can extend the range and capability of their current
computer system without over-stretching their pocket.

Henry Howarth, Product Manager at Acorn, explained the appeal: "The Acorn
Pocket Book, with its resident suite of powerful applications, is in itself
a complete personal computer. Designed to put computing power in the pocket,
its portability opens up a whole range of exciting new possibilities for use
at home, at work and on the move. With this special offer, existing
Archimedes users have the chance to extend the range and scope of their
total Acorn computing environment - at a price they cannot afford to miss!"

The recommended retail price for all items would normally be #468.80 inc
VAT.

Those wishing to take advantage of the special offer should complete and
return the coupon on the advertisements appearing from now until the end of
the year in the specialist Acorn press. Alternatively, send  #249.95 (cheque
or postal order payable to Acorn Direct, or Access/VISA number and expiry
