- True - but it's also in their interests to *sell* people the upgrades. I
- therefore conclude that they have ordered upgrades from Acorn and haven't
- received them. Why not? It seems not unreasonable, at least, that people
- with orders placed with NCS might ring Acorn to ask why they aren't letting NCS
- have any. It's more use than ringing NCS, who clearly don't know - well, OK,
- it's not more use, because extracting information from Acorn is like getting
- Norman Lamont to explain the Government's economic policy, but at least you'd
- be annoying the right people. Or you can cancel your order with NCS and try
- someone else, which will be no hassle as NCS won't have cashed your cheque.
