- The last time I was in England when I rang Acorn about a problem with cmhg
- I was told to ring my dealer. So I rang my dealer. He knew nothing about
- cmhg, but did say that he could ring Acorn and get back to me on that one.
- A few days later I rang the dealer back - he hadn't got much help from
- acorn - mainly because he had no idea what an entry veneer was, so couldnt
- really explain the problem.

- I left England in search of some better support ...
- Poor developer support can kill a company/machine/users
