- At the BETT Show, the Acorn stand is side-by-side with the RM stand. For
- anyone who does not know, RM are Acorn's biggest competitors in the UK
- education market.
-
- On the side nearest the Acorn stand, RM had a large screen which kept
- flashing up:
-
- RM is Number One in Education:
-
- Annual Sales Revenue:
-
- RM............50 million UK pounds
- Acorn.........35 million UK pounds
-
- Acorn often reminds us that it is number one in education, so it must
- depend on which method is used to determine the ordering..
- (assuming that RM are telling the truth!)
