Monday and I got the sun burns to prove it. Other than that it's an irritatingly warm day gone absolutely wrong. Infuriating, really. As for this
Museum Monday blog thingy (
a.k.a. my self imposed masochistic Monday chore), well, have a
look here. It's the aptly named
Acorn Computer Museum. In fact it's such an aptly named little retro gaming site it does a perfect job of describing itself. Just don't let the
Commodore,
Atari and
Dell computers included fool you and concentrate on the classic
32-bit Archimedes.

ReplyDeleteAlthough I lived in the US, I remember watching the BBC show about computer programming. Maybe 1981? It featured the Acorn. Neat show. (I was an Apple II+ guy at the time.) Thanks for the memories! BTW we used to buy magazines just to type in the code--no free programs on disk with a magazine back then! I'm getting old. ;-)
