		tonyedgecombe 10 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A technical history of Acorn Computers My first computer was an Acorn System One. I spent a summer picking fruit at an orchard to pay for it. 1k of RAM, 512 bytes of ROM, a seven segment calculator display and hex keyboard. I spent hours hand assembling 6502 code for it. I even created a stack based language for it in an attempt to teach my younger brother how to program.
