- Wonderful, excellent, brilliant. Acorn is going places! An "assault" on the
- Consumer market - that must be a new word in Acorn's vocabulary. Acorn's
- "Vision for the Future" looks to provide solutions for the Consumer and
- Multimedia markets, so let's hope that their next releases are brought to
- market in an equally aggressive manner (through the appropriate forums).

- Ah, so this is the free TDK disc which will "knaw at people's curiosity,
- making them want to go down to their dealer to find out what is on it"
- (quote - Bob Coates @Acorn). What's on the disc?

- Excellent stuff Acorn. Let's hope that the "Vision for the Future" really
- does lead to exciting times in the not-too distant future.
