Acorn Computers was a British computer company established in Cambridge, England, in 1978. The company produced a number of computers which were especially popular in the UK. These included the Acorn Electron, the BBC Micro and the Acorn Archimedes. Acorn's BBC Micro computer dominated the UK educational computer market during the 1980s and early 1990s, drawing many comparisons with Apple in the U.S.
Though the company was broken up into several independent operations in 2000, it leaves an impressive legacy, particularly in the development of RISC personal computers. A number of Acorn's former subsidiaries, notably ARM Holdings, live on today.
A new company trading as Acorn Computers Ltd was incorporated in 2006. The new company is a notebook PC vendor and, other than the name, would appear to have no relationship with its historic namesake. Some members of the Acorn user community have accused the new venture of exploiting goodwill towards the Acorn brand while having no interest in real Acorn technologies such as RISC OS.Computer Trade Show Exhibitor, comp.sys.acorn.misc, thread started, 5 May 2006
