Press Releases

[Back] 

Introduction

This collection of Acorn press releases has been gathered from many sources, however the main source is the comp.sys.acorn.announce newsgroup where Alan Glover posted Acorn press releases for many years. A second significant source was the Arcade Bulletin Board. I have also copied press releases whenever I have found them. Prior to 1991 press releases were on paper or faxes and I haven't found electronic copies (if anyone has press releases from 1979 to 1991 and from 1996-1998, please contact me because I would like to scan them and add them to Chris's Acorns).

The main reason for this page is that it gives a chronology to Acorn's activities and highlights the major events, and some minor ones, of the times.
