Unregistered user So here I am waiting for an Omega made by Microdigital and running RISC OS which is owned by Pace.
Why the **** is the newsstand mag called "acorn user"? It's like a bird-watcher's magazine being called "dinosaur user" (apologies to Castle's brand name, but you get the point).
Will the availablity of Omegas be a good time to relaunch/rebrand the mag as say RISC Format or something? Maybe persuade a few newsagents to give it a try again?
Anybody got any good suggestions for names?

Unregistered user All highly pointless and fripperous in my own opinion.

Posts: 6266 		In the unlikely event that Tau would actually rename the thing, it should definately ditch any cheesy suffixes including:

"USER", "FORMAT", "WORLD".

It could simply use a title like:

"RISCOS Magazine", "RISC TECHNOLOGY"

(or something) grin
