I bought several, but the Iyonix is still, though less and less, in 
the center of my office-activities. Working on location, and that is 
what I do most, I am now solely on Vista Ultimate using many MS-apps, 
only once and a while firing up Virtual Acorn.

Yes I would buy a new Iyonix or Iyonix2, but only when there are 
decent and up to date browser and multi-media capabilities.

I have been on Acorn/RiscOS for 27 years now and I think I'll get to 
30 with my current machines (also an A7000+ acting as web-, ftp- and 
mailserver) but after that???????
