  1. For BBC Micro fans, the mode 7 teletext Acornsoft loading screen is iconic

    So I've been adding customised versions to some of my more sophisticated Elite hacks

    That's better - I should have done this ages ago!

    Technically this isn't an actual acorn; it's a eucalyptus seed pod, but it looks very similar in size and features.

  7. Might anyone be able to find the BBC Basic source of "A Meagre Demonstration" which is a Boing demo for the Archimedes - from back in the day? Asking for a friend.

    As seen on the BBC’s computer news programme Micro Live. Broadcast on BBC One, 14 December 1987, presented by Fred Harris and Lesley Judd. Also repackaged in Micro File 2, episode The Generation Game.

  8. 🪨 PipeDream on the Acorn Archimedes 🛠️

    A truly unique combination. We have the first ARM-based home computer, powering a bespoke OS, running software that says, "The barriers between productivity apps are a lie we tell ourselves."

    This introduced so many new technologies, I had to run a check on "Where are they now?" The ARM chip's legacy is a given, but the other stuff in the stack might surprise you.

  9. La cosa più interessante degli Acorn Archimedes: montano le prime CPU ARM, le stesse su cui oggi si basano i comuni smartphones e dispositivi come Raspberry pi.
    E' davvero una bella macchina nell'insieme, seppure sia stata meno popolare e diffusa rispetto ai giganti Amiga e AtariST.

  10. The most interesting thing: it uses an early ARM chip, the same platform that today powered your smartphone, Raspberry and many other low-power or portable device.

    I drew inspiration from a visit home where the oak trees were laden with so many acorns!
