---------------------------------------
VirtualAcorn are delighted to announce that users can now download the
brand new 'Second Edition' of 'VirtualRPC in Use' from the VirtualAcorn
website.
http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk/support/vrpcinuse/index.htm
'VirtualRPC in Use' collects together all the articles in the series
published by Archive magazine over the last 8 years in one volume.
The range of articles is diverse and covers using VirtualRPC on
both Windows and MacOS X. There are hints and tips, in depth
coverage of specific subjects requested by readers and a lot
more.
The new 'VirtualRPC in Use' Second Edition e-booklet replaces the
printed booklets originally published by Archive magazine. It also
replaces the previous first edition of 'VirtualRPC in Use' that was
available for download from the VirtualAcorn website.
The e-booklet has been extensively revised by the authors, based
on reader feedback and includes a great many changes
and improvements:
Graphics and screen shots optimised for far greater print quality.
All pages now include a clickable 'Return to Contents Page' option.
The section regarding Windows anti-malware has been overhauled.
A full set of Bookmarks are now included, which can be used from
RISC OS, Windows and Mac OS X.
All details relating to software price, availability and URLs have been
double checked and updated if necessary.
There are hundreds of improvements throughout, far too many
to list individually.

Apple Magic Mouse
----------------------------
VirtualAcorn have released a new technical support article related to
using the Apple Magic Mouse with VirtualRPC. The default Apple
setup of the Magic Mouse makes it difficult to use with RISC OS
as it doesn't respond to centre 'button' clicks. This article:
http://www.virtualacorn.co.uk/support/articles/129m/index.htm
covers the problem and how to alter the Magic Mouse configuration
options so that it correctly works with RISC OS.
