Looking For Information... I need help in contacting Acorn Computers Limited, makers of the new Acorn R140 Unix workstation. I had the following CA based address/phone for them but the number has been disconnected: Acorn Research Centre 5 Palo Alto Square, Suite 910 3000 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA 94306 (415) 424-1114 Does anyone know if this office has been closed -or- has the number been changedrecently? The recording said disconnected...no info avail. etc... I have an UK "Freepost" address for them as well as a "Free Call" telephone number - but I don't believe those are valid from the States... If anyone could furnish me with a valid UK -or- US address/phone I would me mostappreciative! Additionally I am looking for any and all information on the R140 workstation as well as the Archimedes personal computer or their RISC O/S product. Thanks.

I've just read of your attempts to track down Acorn. I'm afraid I can't
supply a phone number but I can supply an e-mail address which you can
try. Mail your queries to:
POSTMASTER%UK.CO.ACORN@UK.AC.UKC
And they should be passed on to the relevant person. They should be able
to tell you how to find a local dealer and so forth (Note: I know this
e-mail address works because I tried it fairly recently and received a reply).
If you have trouble accessing the UK via e-mail, you might try:
EARN/BITNET: POSTMASTER%ACORN.CO.UK%UKC.AC.UK@UKACRL.BITNET
Internet: POSTMASTER%ACORN.CO.UK%UKC.AC.UK@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
or any other you think might work.
Hope this helps,
Paul Mather.

I had the following CA based address/phone for them but the > number has been disconnected... Acorn Computers Limited is a relatively small company based in Cambridge, UK. We used to have a research station at the Palo Alto address you gave but this has since been taken over by Olivetti and has moved to another part of town. You can contact us in the UK by e-mail: outside enquiries should be directed to "SID@acorn.co.uk". There is even an Acorn newsgroup in Europe - eunet.micro.acorn - it has been around long before Acorn started taking news, perhaps someone out there will propose upgrading it to a comp group :-) --Andy Ingle (andy@acorn.co.uk, Acorn postmaster)
