'The BBC hat beenconsistently popular withJSO.O00 units sold lo dale andworldwide sales running onaverage at 20,000a month."
However. David Greenslcin,
Twickenham Computer Centre,expressed doubts as to whetherthe bargain would pull in manynew buyers.
"Special offers don'i maketoo much of an impact", hesaid. "Perhaps ihcy will proveihe decisive factor for peoplewho arc hesitating between iwocompulers. but I don't thinkthey tend to attract customerswho weren't already consider-ing buying a computer." he
Mr Greens lein refuted ihesuggesiion that Acorn might bepromoting the BBC to counter-act Ihe strong position of theCommodore in the marker.
"The BBCs arc extremelypopular, and in fact outsell theCommodore at 100 to I, at leoslin my shop." he said. "In agood month we sell 700 or 800BBCs."Mr Giccnstcin was enthus-
iastic in his praise Tor the BBC:"It's excellent value formoney." he said. "It's reallycomparable to Ihe Apple, whichlots of people don't take imoaccount. The BBC gives youextra pons. In faci it's a cheapmachine for what you get.
"There's never been anythingon ihe market to compare withit." he concluded.
