- A good few of you probably remember the arc 'A' logo that Acorn
- used before they dropped the Archimedes name. Well, how many of
- you know where it came from?
-
- Just now, I was watching Sesame Street .. er, I mean, a friend was
- watching it. (He's young.) Anyway, they were teaching me .. him
- about the letter 'A'. Strangely enough, it was a white letter A..
- On a cyan background.. With a red triangle inside the A at the
- top.. And the rest of the inside was yellow.
-
- Now we know where Acorn get their inspiration! I'm waiting for the
- lesson on low-power RISC processors next..
