As for the Acorn, did it ever get exported anywhere?
The Acorn made it to Australia in small numbers. It was not hugely
visible. I only really know about them through a friend. I think he
gained his knowledge through his school. Most schools had BBC Micros
or Micro Bees before digressing into Wintel territory. It is a shame
as I am lead to believe that the Acorn architecture and OS where well
engineered.
