RISCOSbits are pleased to announce the launch of a new and completely frivolous Christmas event, hopefully to become a worldwide phenomenon for years to come. Hot on the heels of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, comes Stonking Saturday, when the most generous RISC OS vendors give away free RISC OS-capable computers to those who make a seasonal investment in some new, excellent value RISC OS kit! For the inaugral Stonking Saturday, which happens to be on 11th December this year , RISCOSbits are opening with a brand new, exclusive RISC OS computer system: SimplEDOS 400. And they’re throwing in another FREE RISC OS-capable computer with each one they sell, subject to stocks. This offer is for one day only – the SimplEDOS 400 system will not be made available again after Stonking Saturday. The SimplEDOS 400 consists of a very generous kit, based around the Raspberry Pi400, and includes everything you need to get it up and running both RISC OS and Linux, including the easy sharing of files between the two Operating Systems. All you need to do is add a screen, with a suitable HDMI input. All for only £135 – we think that’s a MAGNIFICENT stonker that’s worth holding onto! The main part of the kit is a Pi 400 Keyboard Computer with the following specification: • Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC, overclocked to 2.2GHz under RISC OS Not only that, but you also get: • Wired Mouse Plus your additional RISC OS computer ABSOLUTELY FREE! For nothing, nada, nowt. The SimplEDOS kit arrives boxed inside a single compact presentation box, ideal for easy wrapping and placing under a nicely decorated tree. One or two items may arrive separately, depending on the rush, but in a plain brown envelope, so as not to attract attention. You won’t want people knowing you’ve got such a stonker – envy is very unbecoming… STOCKS ARE VERY LIMITED and will be offered on a first come, first served basis. The offer will be withdrawn when all Stonking Stocks are depleted. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond RISCOSbits control, the Stonking Saturday offer is only available for delivery to UK addresses. Overseas customers can contact RISCOSbits directly to discuss alternative offers that may be almost comparable, but not quite as stonking. Whilst you’re looking at this Stonking Deal, you may wish to consider a WiFi HAT Carrier for the Pi 400, designed to house an Elesar WiFi HAT, as the name suggests. It may also house other HATs and devices, such as real time clocks, and other electrickery. At only £15, it’s still a bit of a stonker, but will be the same price for the rest of the year. For more information, and to buy the SimplEDOS 400 kit for yourself or one of your loved ones, go to https://www.riscosbits.co.uk/stonker.htm. The payment button for this stonking offer will be live on the site on STONKING SATURDAY only! Enjoy your Stonking this Saturday… |

Oh, it’s come a week or two too late for me: I have just bought a custom built computer based on the Raspberry Pi 4 plus EDOS etc from RISCOSBits that sounds very similar to this! Drat! Mine came this week. |

Rest assured, David, that your custom machine is a very different beast to the one above. It’s a bit like comparing cheese and marmalade! And in the case of yours, ‘beast’ is a very apt description! We don’t make many with that kind of spec! |

Phew! Actually, I like cheese and marmalade, but am I getting the cheese or the marmalade? I haven’t had a chance to suck it and see yet as it arrived, my Wife tells me, an hour or so after I left for Ilkley. I’ll be tasting it on Thursday. |
