	Acorn Computers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acorn's BBC Micro computer dominated the UK educational computer market during the 1980s and early 1990s, drawing many comparisons with Apple in the U.S. Though the company was broken up into several independent operations in 2000, it leaves an impressive legacy, particularly in the development of RISC personal computers.
		Even from the time of the Atom, Acorn were considering how to move on from the 6502 processor: the 16-bit Acorn Communicator developed in 1982 using the 65816 being a key example.
		Acorn was in real trouble: by the end of the year it had 250,000 unsold Electrons on its hands, which had all been paid for and needed to be stored – at additional expense.

		In 1980 the engineers at Acorn took the internals of the System 3 and placed them inside the case of an external keyboard, creating a quite typical setup for an inexpensive home computer of the early 80s era — this one the relatively successful Acorn Atom.

		An acorn is the fruit of the oak tree.
		Acorns take about 6 or 18 months (depending on the species) to mature and appear only on adult trees, and thus are often a symbol of patience and the fruition of long, hard labor.

		However, the Acorn community (in common users of all kinks of other computers) has been experiencing difficulties in adjusting to the radical changes the internet is in the process of wreaking on the world.
		The algorithmic texture proposals made in these documents are essentially high-end proposals, and while it is not doubted here that a base of Acorn based computers could be instrumental in their implementation, it must be confessed that these ideas are of a far lower priority than (for example) the essential support for Frames and Java.
		The Acorn computer group is one of a number of organisations capable of implementing the proposals outlined here; indeed, Netscape and even Microsoft must realistically be judged to be in a better position to implement a web textures standard.

	The history of the ARM CPU
		Acorn's initial success was sealed when the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) commissioned a new home computer model from the company to be sold as the BBC Microcomputer, to tie in with a public computer education programme shown on BBC television in the UK.
		Acorn had no replacement computer to offer customers who felt that the BBC Micro and its derivatives were old technology and not as good as the newer machines which were more clearly aimed at the business market, and much more highly specified than Acorn's models.
		Acorn had launched a cut-down version of the BBC Micro to be sold into the home market, but it came too late to capitalize on the boom, and Acorn was left with large stocks of unsold machines.
