Being driven stir-crazy by the lockdown? Why not learn a new RISC OS
program? How about at 50-60% off? It’s the COVID Special !Store sale!

Database programs are sometimes seen as complex, but DataPower's friendly, visual "DTP-like" approach makes creating and using databases easy. It’s
the ideal time to learn how to store and work with data, and your
databases can be read on Windows too, via the Windows DataPower software included.

Start with DataPower Home, now just 19.99ukp for one of RISC OS' top-tier applications. It provides a comprehensive system for storing info - names
and addresses, recipes, photo indexes, even invoices - you name it.
DataPower Home is surprisingly powerful, thanks to a range of powerful
tools and even scripting capabilities if you have a little time to
explore. It includes charting/graphing too, for displaying your data, and
easy DTP-style reports.

Or, if you’re up for something more extensive, DataPower 3 (now just 39.99
- a huge saving) allows databases with multiple tables of cross-referenced information. This is what's called a "relational" database. DataPower 3
also allows industry standard SQL queries to be composed, and offers
simple client/server database sharing too! At this price (the lowest it
has ever been), it's amazing value.

The DataPower family is often cited amonst RISC OS' elite applications - Artworks, Ovation Pro, Sibelius, PhotoDesk and so on. Originally developed
by Neil Raines who worked with Acorn on various projects (including the drag'n'drop protocol which has just been adopted more extensively in RO5!)
It’s a package that is both simple to use, and deeply powerful,
implementing the best of RISC OS useablility.

Best wishes, and stay safe.
