Acorn Returns

Four years after the company was broken up, the Acorn operating system is back in the form of Risc OS with a new machine built by Castle Technology.

After entering the world of computing through the seminal BBC B and Electron machines at school, I would love to see Acorn machines back in use. Now all we need is someone to resurrect Sinclair and Apricot...

"Many people grew up using BBC/Acorn machines and still value its genuine sense of community - and it represents two fingers up to the world domination of Microsoft."
