Title: Getting The Most From Your Acorn Electron
Description: So you've just bought an Acorn Electron?

But how does it work? What can it do? How can you use it for games? How do you write programs? How do you produce graphics? What do you do if something goes wrong?

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ACORN ELECTRON is a comprehensive and carefully designed introduction to your machine. The Acorn Electron is an excellent home micro for the beginner, offering a good introduction to the world of computers at a reasonable price. It has the advantages of a full-sized typewriter keyboard, superb graphics and a fast BASIC which is compatible with the BBC Micro found in many schools. This book explores the Electron's potential, and its possibilities for expansion to suit each owner's needs. The book is intended to complement the User Guide supplied with the machine, and contains a large number of tips on programming, software, and the general use of the computer.

Some features and accessories which are undocumented in the Electron User Guide are investigated, and particular advice is given for those wishing to connect printers and TV monitors. Most of the program examples will also work on a BBC Micro with the 1.2 Operating System and Version II of the BBC BASIC.
