Reading some Acorn internal documents about a 1994 proposal for new, very different, machine from Acorn;

From the second linked document:

It would almost be certain that a very large percentage of all Acorn enthusiasts would migrate to this product very rapidly, due to its sex and violence.

😂 This is what happens when nerds write proposals. 😂

I’ve redacted the names, so it’s not obvious, but this proposal was written by a manager at Acorn of many years, after consulting with several senior engineers, the names of most you’d likely recognise.

I think we’ve maybe forgotten how insensitive management-speak from a previous generation could be :-)

Yeah. You even did it properly. :-)

There was a “redacted” copy of some sort of legal document linked in The Register a few years back. I guess it was done by simply selecting bits of text and saying “background is black” so it looked a lot like your document.
Primary difference, however, was that the original text was still there, so a quick select, copy, paste and so much for redaction…
