I still love that movie with the hobbit guy about the BBC acorn. That was great.



Micro Men! Great little TV movie, and really interesting story of the rivalry between UK golden-age home computing giants Sinclair and Acorn (Acorn being the company behind the BBC micro, and also originally the "A" in "ARM").


Oh thank you, I never heard those name before so I had a hard time following this part of the thread.

( do some more search, adding “micro” )

Ok, so it IS a British Broadcasting Corporation spawn.

Ha. Excellent. I had no idea.

Thanks for spelling it out, I was about to reject the idea as funny but unlikely.


Me neither! Here's a link to the movie: https://archive.org/details/MicroMen720p2009
