If you are not getting this magazine, and have an Oric somewhere tucked away, write to Dave Dick 65 Barnard Crescent Aylesbury Bucks HP21 9PW England The magazine has 110 readers at present, 70 issues under the bridge and still going strong. There is also an Oric Bulletin Board. The number is 0223 835171, from 10pm to Midnight on Mon Thu and Fri at the moment. Not sure of speeds supported, but give it a call if you can. Oric Software etc for download, and also contact with other users who can solve problems. Enterprise users, an address to get in contact with is Peter Mundin Final Frontier 17 Coronation Ave Mile Oak Tamworth Staffs Phone 0827 250457 Peter deals with various hardware/software, and seems to be about the only person left in the UK who deals with Enterprise stuff.
