1. An 8 bit Acorn computer from the early 1980s, regarded as being a
budget version of the BBC Micro.

desktop apps by bundling them with a chromium web browser. Given the amount
of system resources which web browsers consume this could make electron
apps very sluggish, and running multiple such apps could be hazardous.
