Amstrad computer users in the North of England are to lose their show - the annual Amstrad Northern Show is to be scrapped due to a lack of interest. The decision was taken because the Manchester based show - which covers the CPC, PCW and PC ranges - has never made any money. It was originally set up over three years ago to accomodate thousands of Amstrad users based in the North of England. However, attendances of just 10,000 have meant that organiser Database, along with Amstrad and other exhibitors, has decided to pull the plug. The more popular London show generally pulls in around 17.000 visitors and that will continue. Database's Mike Malone told Express: "It simply didn't make any money. We consulted the exhibitors and the feedback was that it was not a success. The Northern public didn't support it as we would have hoped." He admitted that Database were having "difficulty persuading exhibitors to come in".

Page créée en 424 millisecondes et consultée 1770 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
