EDITORIAL
Acorn's pull back into profit this year. At Econet '88 it demonstrated it hasn't forgotten networks. The Acorn stand at the PC show, was crowded with potential paying customers. Acorn had invited hardware and software companies to share the stand to back up its claim that Archimedes software is available. It worked but what may have put a few off was the presence of a solitary Master 128. Acorn are still selling more Masters than Arcs.
