Whenever I have looked through PCN in the newsagents, I have been disappointed to find that you do not appear to have any coverage of one of the best machines on the market. In my opinion it is even better than the Spectrum and Atari in the home end of the market, and superior to the Apple IIe, the Commodore and many other 8-bit machines in the business area.
I have used the Apple IIe and the Commodore for business and I have now spent over £1,500 on my selection of hardware and software. The choice, needless to say, was none of the above machines, but a Memotech RS 128 with twin disk drives, printer equivalent to an Epson MX80 and monochrome screen, all as a bundle from Memotech.
The machine is supplied with an excellent word processor and spreadsheet. It is capable of operating what appear to be many of the normal industry standard CP/M programs. The drives can be configured to emulate a number of other machines, including IBM PC and Kaypro.
As the machines in the Memotech series become more and more populate the potential readership will grow.
If you are not featuring the machine in your magazine you will lose out on the number of readers. I would therefore strongly recommend that you start to feature this machine.
