Metacomco in Bristol UK?
I think I had a freaky Amiga related experience!
A while back, I had a weekend visit to Bristol to see friends and stayed in some serviced apartments. A friend is visiting there soon, so I was looking up the address of them for him. Upon Googling the address I saw the name Metacomco linked in a few sites to that address, I knew the name rang a bell but couldn't place it. Then I noticed it was on a few Atari and Amiga sites! These are the apartments http://www.citybaseapartments.com/uk...apartments.php Located at 26 Portland Square Bristol BS2 8RZ It does seem a company called Metacomco were there in the 80s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaComCo They're from Bristol, and had a hand in inventing the first AmigaOS... to think I was probably sleeping in a room where part of the Amiga was born and I had no idea, pretty freaky! Several sites seem to confirm that was their address: http://www.page6.org/archive/issue_25/page_35.htm Just thought I'd share anyway. Last edited by danwood; 08-13-2012 at 10:20 AM.. |

Yup, those are the apartments alright! I rather like Bristol
 Weird though, you almost certainly stayed in the very place AmigaDos was put together!
