Acorn Computers
Acorn Computers Ltd. was a British computer company established in Cambridge, England, in 1978. The company produced a number of computers which were especially popular in the UK, including the Acorn Electron and the Acorn Archimedes. Acorn's BBC Micro computer dominated the UK educational computer market during the 1980s〔(History of ARM: from Acorn to Apple - Telegraph )〕 It is more known for its computer than for its other products.
Though the company was broken up into several independent operations in 1998, its legacy includes the development of RISC personal computers. One of its operating systems, , continues to be developed by RISC OS Open. Some of Acorn's former subsidiaries live on today—notably ARM Holdings, which is globally dominant in the mobile phone and PDA microprocessor market.〔(ARM CPU Core Dominates Mobile Market - Nikkei Electronics Asia - Tech-On! )〕
Acorn is sometimes referred to as the "British Apple"〔(Report on Network Computer Technology ). Simon Booth, European Commission, 1999.〕 and has been compared to Fairchild Semiconductor for being a catalyst for start-ups.〔
〕 In 2010, the company was listed by David Meyer in ''ZDNet'' as number nine in a feature of top ten fallen "Dead IT giants". Many British IT professionals gained their early experiences on Acorns, which were often more technically advanced than commercially successful US hardware.
