Archimedes

The world's first RISC microcomputer, available only in the British
Commonwealth and Europe. Built in 1987 in Great Britain by Acorn Computers,
it was legendary for its use of the ARM-2 microprocessor as a CPU. Many a
novice hacker in the Commonwealth in the late 1980s or early 1990s first
learnt his or her skills on the Archimedes, since it was specifically
designed for use in schools and educational institutions. Owners of
Archimedes machines are often still treated with awe and reverence.
Familiarly, archi.
