Most excellent! PDF anywhere?
"In 1982 two well-known ex Sinclair (Richard Altwasser and Steve Vickers) ... created and sold two versions of their computer: The Jupiter ACE and the Jupiter ACE 4000. This was the first home computer to boot directly to the FORTH language. By 1983 the company was bankrupt, under 6,000 units sold. What happened? Find out more about this unique machine, the short history of Jupiter Cantab, and why, 30+ years later, there's still more story to tell."

But can you buy a Jupiter ACE from that advert? You can from this one:

(Yes, the ACE, the most well-known micro which boots into Forth and is named after Alan Turing's ACE project.)

"I bought this book in 1984. Now it's a microcomputing cult classic. I read it and read it. It's HIGHLY Z80 centric but the concepts were transferable and with this book I was even able to see how to craft a Forth system on what is probably the worst machine on earth for a stack oriented language, the 6502 based Apple IIe. My "friend" ROGER borrowed my book in 1985, fell in love with it, and NEVER GAVE IT BACK! Hey Roger, I want my classic back! No questions asked!"

There's so much you can do with a Beeb these days - solid state storage, multihundredmegahertz second processor, video palette upgrade... hey, even a Turing machine implemented in Conway's Game of Life!

Acorn's Basic ARM simulator program was on show at the computer museum in Cambridge last year... I made a point of taking a close look at it. A very close look.

"Tina Weymouth provided an unbelievably funky, exuberant bottom end that could keep up with Byrne’s limitless energy and demonstrated stunning technical chops — and she could dance in perfect synchronicity with the band all the while. On songs like “Heaven,” she could dial the energy down, but the emphasis on unusual beat placement and swagger always remained intact."

"Project #Oberon is a design for a complete desktop computer system from scratch. Its simplicity and clarity enables a single person to know and implement the whole system, yet still providing enough power to make it useful and usable in a production environment. This website contains information and resources for exploring and using the system."
