IRC chat with ACKCONTROLS about new amigas

[mr_a500]

Well, just the fact that ACK Controls is in Fonthill, Ontario disturbed me a bit. It's hardly the "Computer Capital of Canada" (Toronto-Markham area). In fact, it's not even close. I used to go to Fonthill regularly when I worked for the Ministry of Agriculture. It's a very small town far from big cities, known for its orchards, vineyards, animal feed stores and antique shops.

I guess it's not really necessary to build computers in a big high-tech area, but an isolated farm-location company in partnership with a devious underhanded pseudo-company (Amiga Inc.) doesn't really fill me with confidence.

We'll see. I hope I'm wrong. I hope it's a kick-ass computer and runs AmigaOS 5.0. ;-)

So, after all, aparently Fonthill is somehow related to computers, in some kind of a weird way

I wouldn't put much trust in that "trivia" quote. It doesn't say which computer companies or give an example, then makes it sound like these companies all use the same PO box and they all use the same processing office in Welland. Weird is right.
