I haven't got a record of who it was who was conducting the above survey, so
this has to go by news and not mail (SORRY!).

The IBM-compatible add-on unit for the BBC micro (called the Graduate),
designed by Data Technologies, will be distributed by Torch Computers in the
UK. The spec is:
	8088
	up to 256K RAM
	twin floppies
	two IBM compatible expansion slots
Prices start at #599 for the 128K model, rising to #999 for the top of the
range (# is pounds sterling).

This is quite a breakthrough, since it means that you could have a PC
compatible machine (but with better graphics) for around #1400. Not bad, eh?
