| | Acorn Pages - About Acorn Computers and RISC OS |
| | In 1987, Acorn introduced the Archimedes range of computers, which were considered by many to be the most advanced consumer desktop computer available at the time. | | | Acorns and RISC OS computers are widely used in the TV industry, partly due to their reliability and suitability for performing certain tasks. | | | RISC OS computers can actually be used without a hard drive at all, and the original entry level Archimedes and A3000 computers did not ship with a hard drive as standard. |

| | The BBC considered the NewBrain computer and rejected it. | | | It was a very popular computer in the UK and was widely used in schools, but it didn't have great success elsewhere (even though it did have great features, it was too expensive). | | | This computer got its name because in 1980, the BBC decided to start a computer literacy television series. |

| | Acorn or Wintel? |
| | Acorn were developing a better computer (provisionally called the Proton) when the BBC started their computer literacy scheme. | | | Acorn's open-ness means that all OS features are fully documented and available to all programs, so if programs are written to interface in the standard way with operating system calls, they will always work and as a result the programs have to do less work so they are smaller and much more reliable. | | | Acorn's programmers, working with the BBC's requirements, did some very clever things with it and, in the early '80s the BBC computer was a far more versatile and 'cutting edge' machine than the contemporary IBM 8086 microcomputers. |
