587.0. "A NEW READER" by WARBLY::YATESM () Tue Sep 05 1989 08:35

    Morning All,
    
    	Does anyone here in the Warrington Office have an ST? ALSO I
    wanna get my 520 upgraded to 1 MEG mem - anyone know of good places
    to get that sort of thing done (or does anyone do it themselves?)
    
    Mark.

    There are at least 2 other ST users in the Warrington area possibly
    more. Myself and Derek Kay. AS to good places for upgrades if you
    look in one of the comics. I.E. ST world. There is a place up the
    road in Widnes(or was it Wigan) that seems to specialise. Sorry
    can't remember the name though.

587.2Thanks Paul!WOTVAX::YATESMWed Sep 06 1989 08:109
    Paul,
    
    	Thanks very much for the information...I'll have a good look
    around for that place you mention. Good to know I'm not in a minority
    here - I shall endeavour to keep in contact with both you and Derek.
    
    Thanks very much
    
    				Mark.
587.3Not quite WarringtonCOMICS::RADBURNNeanderthal answer to EinsteinWed Sep 06 1989 08:137
    I am not actually in Warrington but I had my 520 upgraded at Ladbroke
    Computing in Preston (don't ask me what I was doing there!). This
    was done at a reasonable price and within one day. Also (touch wood)
    I have had no problems with it.
    
    Hope this helps
    Gary.
587.4Two users local to youMINDER::GILBERTNorth UK Region Appl'n Centre @MCOWed Sep 06 1989 08:235
    
    There are (at least) two ST users in the Stretford office (MCO),
    about 15 miles from you: myself and Geoff Webb.

    Hi, 
    
    Yep, I'll recommend Ladbroke as well, the sales staff seem a bit
    sharp but if you get to talk to the older guys there, they seem
    more friendly. They did my 1Mb upgrade in an afternoon, very
    reasonably.
    
    As for anything softwarewise, Bits & Bytes in Central station liverpool
    have a good selection of software (a bit gamey but better upstairs).
    There used to be a computer junk shop in widnes, but that was a
    long time ago.
    
    Cheers

    Hi Mark,
    	There are two ST users here at the NLC, John McDonnel 3700 and
    me Phillip Walker (note the double LL, or the mail never arrives)
    ext 3668. If you decide to do the job yourself, I am willing to
    help, as I know one end of an iron from the other. If you want to
    talk ST, mail or call me. Bye, and happy expansion.
    			Phil.

    Re Memory Upgrades.....
    
    To all ST users who have contacted me via mail.
    I have some bad news, the last batch of chips have been used up
    IF any more turn up I will leave note here the cost of the chips
    was aprox 45 pounds per set (tested)....Watch this space.
