mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Darren

[Raak] No.
[Chalky] No.
I did give you a clue before. Remember, the BBC didn't make the BBC Micro - it was made by Acorn. So, what you might be looking for here is another (retro, we've established) computer made by Acorn, of which there were several.

Dujon

Was this model named after a minute 'object'? - there's two I can think of.

Chalky

Acorn Atom?

.. the one that was launched in 1980, she says knowledgeably.
Google? Wassat then :-)

Inkspot

Acorn Archimedes

Absolutely fascinated when reading the story about what they did back then

Darren

[Dujon] Yes.
[Chalky] No, too early.
[Inkspot] No, too recent.

Raak

The clues, together with Inkspot's posting of the history, strongly suggest the Electron.

Darren

[Raak] Absolutely so. It is indeed the Acorn Electron. CORRECT! It's Raak's turn.
