They were uninterested ? And you were surprised ?

I find the easiest way or getting a message like contact Acorn is
to enter the debugger then go to lunch.  By the time you get back it
is usually plastered across the screen.  I think its a feature so that 
you wont strain yourself debugging for long periods.

Yes compare the phrases "Software Engineering" and "Program Hackers" in 
your favourite Software Engineering Book.

I think we could almost make a new dictionary entry

Acorn:  A company that should know better ...
