Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Archimedes series was Acorn's follow-up to their reasonably successful BBC Micro line of computers. It's also probably the most important line of computers you've never heard of. The first systems were released in 1987, and like its contemporaries the Amiga and Atari ST it had advanced features like a 32-bit processor, high-quality graphics and sound, and a GUI with features Windows wouldn't get for years courtesy of the RISC OS. It therefore naturally disappeared into oblivion [1] along with the manufacturer in the mid-1990s. Like the BBC Micro, it mostly carved a niche for itself in the British educational market until it was supplanted by Windows PCs and Macs. The Archimedes line later developed into the RISC PC. |
