Notes on  ARCHIMEDES 

The world's first RISC microcomputer, available only in the British
Commonwealth and europe. Built in 1987 in Great Britain by Acorn
Computers, it was legendary for its use of the ARM-2 microprocessor
as a CPU. Many a novice hacker in the Commonwealth first learnt his
or her skills on the Archimedes, since it was specifically designed
for use in schools and educational institutions. Owners of Archimedes
machines are often still treated with awe and reverence. Familiarly,
"archi".
