Brings back memories. IIRC I got one of these with my Acorn Atom Kit. A kit ‘cause my dad wanted to teach me out to build it myself (or was it because he wanted to save money…?)

Must watch film: Micro men

It's about Sinclair and Acorn.

There is also a video of the Acorn founders reacting to Micro Men.

I really liked RISC OS. The Acorn machines were really fun.

RISC OS is still around and just got Wi-Fi. It'll run on some models of Raspberry Pi.

I guess this is from just before the Acorn Electron was released.

Apple bought Acorn and used them to make all their world changing devices. M series is just the latest.
