Thursday, 3rd September, 1998.
At a press conference today, Chris Cox made some important announcements about Phoebe.
Phoebe will not now be available until October, possibly timed to coincide with Acorn World. Shipments were due to begin this month, with the official launch at the show.
Acorn have also announced an attractive offer for Clan members. By putting down a deposit before the end of October, the Clan will be entitled to a discount of up to £500 off the price of a Phoebe. The deposit and the discount are linked - the discount you receive equals the deposit you put down. Deposits in the range of £100 to £500 will be accepted, in increments of £100. With this offer, Clan members will be able to buy a Phoebe for £1,261 including VAT.
