acorn.co.uk domain finds another owner By Chris Williams. Published: 9th Aug 2004, 21:15:19 | Permalink | PrintableMirror on the wall, who is the new hostmaster after all? The acorn.co.uk domain name has changed hands once again, according to ANS which covered the news yesterday.
The domain, once owned by element-14 - the company that emerged from the breakup of Acorn and later snapped up by Broadcom, now belongs to Tom McFarlane of letsdomainit.co.uk. The domain was registered on the 19th July 2004.
The new owners haven't as yet replied to our emails, so we don't know what plans (if any) letsdomainit.co.uk have for the once online home of Acorn Group. We're equally not entirely sure what anyone could realistically achieve with acorn.co.uk and RISC OS, apart from bringing back school day memories of BBC and A440 networks to the long moved on public, but the nut loving quarter could probably come up with something. The domain is next up for renewal in 2006, along with the similarly vacant acorn.com.
Meanwhile, there's still valiant efforts like acorncomputers.co.uk to tempt the weary google searcher.
