Eh ?
By 'Acorn developers' who was this ?
Acorn stopped the Phoebe project September 1998 and it
closed its doors last year anyway.
Many people went to pastures new, but some went to Element-14
and are now doing DSP stuff.

Also, "Inventor" - again what do you mean by this;
Acorn released around 30 different machines over a 20+ year span.
Are you meaning from the development of the ARM processor 
onwards ?
Or do you mean people still there when that craphead Stan (Satan) 
Boland decided to get out because they'd not got enough interest 
in Phoebe.
Yet he only gave it two weeks from the initial announcement of the 
box.

Bitter ? Me ? You bet...

The nice thing about Windows is that it doesn't just crash.
It displays a dialogue box and lets you click OK first.
