Only in the sense of the name and community.
Personally I am very interested in other uses of the word "Oric", especially
since to me it still conjures up the memory of that day way back in 1983
when I received my first ever computer... a 16K Oric-1.

Really glad to see you Bob.
Arianna waves hi to you and your beloved family.

Did you ever get the attic converted?

cinema room with DLP HD projector with full surround sound system, PS3,

boy electric chairs with holders for the beer!! :) I'll send some

No mention of your kick ass Oric game system?

Looking forward to your photos. It will be some change from the photos of
your attic/computer-museum that I already have.

My parents fly out from Scotland on Sunday. They shall be here for 4 weeks.
For the middle 2 weeks we are heading out to the Grand Canyon by Amtrak (US
Train System). It should be a blast, and yes this is me saying this: I am so
looking forward to a couple of weeks with no computers!
