I figured they might be - just not in this part of the world, it seems
:-) Wonder how many were actually sold in the UK...

That sounds familiar for some reason. I was flicking through ancient
computer magazines whilst doing some sorting out over at Bletchley on

something. Announcing hardware months before it was ready and then never
commercially producing it seemed to be incredibly common back in the
day...
