Thread: I bought an Acorn Archimedes A310

This is the first consumer device with a RISC based processor (a few high end workstations preceded it) and the first wide public release of the ARM processor (the CPU inside of it is literally referred to as the ARM)

Managed to get it with the original cords, manuals, box for the monitor, mouse mat, and the purchase receipt :blobfoxlaughsweat: just had to get it back to Nottingham from Llandudno on the train...

"Fury over secret recording of landlords joking about using renters as 'target practice'

Members of Acorn tenants union were also branded ‘fascists’ at a meeting of the Eastern Landlords Association, causing renters to brand the comments ‘out of order’

Renters from the Acorn tenants union have branded comments made at a landlord conference as 'out of order after a secret recording captured landlords suggesting they are 'used as target practice'.

An audio recording confirmed to have been made at the Eastern Landlords Association (ELA) conference and AGM on 16 May heard unnamed members of the audience make disparaging, unchallenged comments about renters in Acorn’s Norwich branch.

Members at the ELA meeting can be heard to call Acorn members 'wankers', 'fascists and mocking men at an Acorn meeting wearing nail varnish. The recording ends with one person in the audience asking: 'Can we use them [Acorn] as target practice before the shooting season?'"
