From http://www.cybervillage.co.uk/acorn/emulation/bbc/ The Acorn BBC Micro came into being when Acorn won the contract from the BBC to produce a home computer that the BBC could use to promote technology and computing at home, school and in the work place. Acorn won this contract, mainly on the strength of their first Acorn Atom computer which had been fairly successful. The BBC models A and B were very successful with hundreds of British schools adopting them for what were to become classics, such as Granny's Garden, or Pod. BBC's were also popular amongst the more affluent enthusiast who wanted more than a Speccy could deliver, with it's built in BBC BASIC, and assembler in ROM, and massive expandability to boot. The Master and Master Compact were later introduced with a 3.5" disk drive and although not so popular, still sold well. Acorn then broke the connection with the BBC, and skipped a generation from 8 bit to 32 bit, years ahead of their time, to give us the ARM system we have today. (Acorn A3000 / RISC OS released in 1987 - 8 years before Windows 95!)
