 | | Acorn are a small (on the order of 250 employees) computer company based in Cambridge, England. |
 | | For several years now, Acorn's main products have been based around a RISC processor called the ARM (this used to stand for "Acorn RISC Machine", but since then the bit of Acorn that made the ARM has split off from the main company, and the "A" now stands for "Advanced"). |
 | | The machine had possibly one of the best versions of BASIC out of all of the computers at the time and also had good expansion capabilities including networking (Econet), a disc interface, and a second processor. |
