Bargain Beeb

ACORN is running a promotional offer on BBC B machines for the month of July.

For £399, the normal cost of the micro, buyers will also recieve a BBC data recorder and five free Acornsoft programs.

This is the first time Acorn has been involved in any special offers regarding its machines.

“July is a particularly slack time of year,” commented an Acorn spokesman. “It is hoped that we can generate extra sales from the promotion.”
