Where's Bob?

1999-06-01 Thread Gavin Smith
Got a call from a SAM Community member the other night, Vic Taylor (he's
82 but sounds about 20!) - he's wondering what's happened to Bob
Brenchley. Apparently he's phoned him a few times, but the number seems
to have been cut off. Also he has written to him a couple of times
trying to buy a reconditioned SAM, but no reply. So, what's up with Bob?
Anyone know?

Gavin

Oh, if you speak to Vic - can you assure him that Blitz 9 should be out
soon.

It seems as if the original finished version I sent to Persona HQ for
checking about 5-6 weeks ago went walkies (sent it via work email ) so I'm
resending by snail-mail today.

All the best,

David

In the white top part of the case, just behind the number keys. It is a
BBC-style connector and there is a ribbon cable inside connecting it to an
interface which (correct me if I'm wrong) I think plugs into one of the disk
drive slots...(?)

Well it's entitled to, as far as HTML 3.2 is concerned  tags are not
necessary and shouldn't be used to force breaks like you seem to be
using them to, all that happens when you render

This paragraph


Next paragraph

is that the browser treats it exactly as if you had written

This paragraph


Next paragraph

Which you should be using to force the space. Do this and if Netscape's
editor removes the  I'll be surprised :)
