Be Scared... Be Quite Scared...
You may have noticed that the Acorn scene has rather a lot of 'Daves'. You may have also pondered upon this fact and thought "Lawks, Gor Blimey, what a lot of Daves." etc. etc. We are very pleased that recently one of our number has become the MD of Acorn. Now, with so many the time of Dave is upon us, and Daves of Acorn will arise and reveal the shocking truth...
Or maybe not. But, bizzarely, the Acorn industry is literally chock-a-block with Daves in prominent positions. Look at this list :
- David Lee - MD of the Acorn Computer Group
- David Matthewman - Ex-editor of Acorn User
- David Dade - AU's Comms Page & Arcade BBS
- David Coleman - Arcade BBS
- David Lawrence & David Acton- AU's *Info Pages
- David Walker - Acorn Customer Services
- Dave McCartney - The Datafile PD library
- David Watkins - Editor Archimedes World
- David Lodge - Compiler of the Archimedes Cheat Manual
- Dave Cutting - Of Demon Tech Support
Daves from the ROM Credits :
- Dave Abraham
- David De Vorchik
- David Elworthy
- David Flynn
- Dave Howard
- David Roberts
- David Seal
- David Burling
- Dave Caughley
- David Reid
- David Bell
- David Rees
- David Lowdell
Plus, of course, myself ;-)
If you have any Daves not included here, mail me with details and I'll update the list.
After compiling this list, Dave Thomas changed his name to 'Melissa Sanderson' in an effort to avoid becoming 'lost amongst the Daves'.
