That's the address of a chartered accountants. Chances are they're the company's accountants and the company itself isn't actually there - although it's possible they happen to be renting an office in the same building or something. |

A very elaborate joke!
www.acorncomputer.co.uk redirects to Microsoft.com!
Well, I hope this isn't a joke! I know I said I wanted an Acorn laptop, but the quote on the CT Show website makes me barf:
"The new range of Acorn Notebooks. Featuring the latest Core Duo processors by intel, as well as powerful AMD Mobile notebooks with discreet graphics."
Discreet, eh? |

Discreet, eh? Yes. They're using TFT screens with a variable field of view, so that when your boss looks over your shoulder he won't be able to see the porn you're looking at. |

Dominated? When did Acorn ever dominate the corporate or consumer markets? |
