Introducing
1/6 APRICOT 340 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
Summary of features
This section is intended mostly for people who already know a bit
about computers and want to get an idea of what this one can do.
Don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with some of the computer
terminology used here. It’s provided as a useful “shorthand” for more
experienced readers. Be assured, you don’t need to understand any
jargon to use the computer safely and efficiently. (On the other
hand, it can’t hurt to learn; introductory books about computers can
be found in your local bookshop or library.)

VS-series (Apricot VS340 and Apricot XEN PC), the multimedia
