Orpheus to save Argonauts?

Posted by Richard Goodwin on 00:00, 11/2/2005 | , , ,
 
Paul VigayAs some ArgoNet customers are starting to find out from the letters hitting their doormats, the RISC OS friendly ISP is finally closing it's doors.  But as we all know from our Ancient Greek legend studies, the original Argonauts were helped out by a chap called Orpheus.  We have an exclusive interview with the head honcho at Orpheus Internet, who should be familiar to many ArgoNet subscribers already...
 
Yes, it's Paul Vigay, who for the past six years has been handling ArgoNet support.  And setting up the interview wasn't exactly hard, as he sits across the office.  Well, for now anyway.

Interviews: Jason Tribbeck

Much of Jason's work seems to have filtered in to that general 'must have' group of programs that almost everybody has a copy of. Just now I have 3 programs running which were all or partly written by Jason; Argo Zip Driver, Long Filenames and the Voyager Internet Suite.
 

Acorn Arcade are eternally grateful to Jason, as he was the one who kindly paid to register us the domain name 'acornarcade.com'!
