Lines: 16 I live in Ireland. Next door to England. I've never seen an ad. for Acorn in the Irish press anywhere. Until recently Acorn machines just couldn't be bought here because there were no importers, and as a result no dealers... There've been a few open days around Dublin recently, and the only reason there's been a significant Acorn presence at any of them is because the local user group gets a few members to bring their machines along - if they didn't, nobody here would ever have heard of the Arc. Acorn's PR are stunning me still.
