Acorn had a habit of being ahead of its time - first with RISC computing, then with its own demise. Imagine if the Archimedes had been marketed as well as the BBC Micro. #Acorn #Archimedes #RISC #RetroComputing #80sTech

Dystopian alternate reality: Acorn and Commodore computers instead PCs and iMacs 🤭

It was always a hundred or two too expensive on the low end models. Although, Commodore went out of business. So, who's to say who got the pricing right?

Still have mine, and it's going nowhere. Want to add a Hard Drive into it.

I'm writing to you from a handheld device with no less than ten ARM cores. Acorn definitely won. But they were playing a different game. Thank you Sophie.
