acorn computers ltd.
(foldoc) | Acorn Computers Ltd.
acorn
A UK computer manufacturer, part of the {Acorn
Computer Group} plc. Acorn was founded on 1978-12-05, on a
kitchen table in a back room. Their first creation was an
electronic slot machine. After the Acorn System 1, 2 and 3,
Acorn launched the first commercial microcomputer - the
ATOM in March 1980. In April 1981, Acorn won a contract
from the BBC to provide the PROTON. In January 1982 Acorn
launched the BBC Microcomputer System. At one time, 70% of
microcomputers bought for UK schools were BBC Micros.
The Acorn Computer Group went public on the Unlisted
Securities Market in September 1983. In April 1984 Acorn won
the Queen's Award for Technology for the BBC Micro and in
September 1985 Olivetti took a controlling interest in
Acorn. The Master 128 Series computers were launched in
January 1986 and the BBC Domesday System in November 1986.
In 1983 Acorn began to design the Acorn RISC Machine (ARM),
the first low-cost, high volume RISC processor chip (later
renamed the Advanced RISC Machine). In June 1987 they
launched the Archimedes range - the first 32-bit RISC
based microcomputers - which sold for under UKP 1000. In
February 1989 the R140 was launched. This was the first
Unix workstation under UKP 4000. In May 1989 the A3000
(the new BBC Microcomputer) was launched.
In 1990 Acorn formed Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. (ARM) in
partnership with Apple Computer, Inc. and VLSI to develop
the ARM processor. Acorn has continued to develop RISC
based products.
With 1992 revenues of 48.2 million pounds, Acorn Computers was
the premier supplier of Information Technology products to
UK education and had been the leading provider of 32-bit RISC
based personal computers since 1987.
Acorn finally folded in the late 1990s. Their operating
system, RISC OS was further developed by a consortium of
suppliers.

The success of ARM Ltd. and the strategy to widen the
availability of RISC technology has resulted in its chips now
being used in a range of products including the {Apple

processors were shipped than SPARC chips in 1993. ARM has
also sold three times more chips than the PowerPC

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the turn of the century looked so
remote and memory/disk was so expensive that most programs

surprising results when dealing with dates after 1999. They

One of the first company to provide public
Internet access in the UK.
The staff of Demon Systems Ltd., an established software
house, started Demon Internet on 1992-06-01 and it was the
first system in the United Kingdom to offer low cost full
Internet access. It was started with the support of about
100 founder members who discussed the idea on {Compulink
Information Exchange}, and were brave enough to pay a year's
subscription in advance. They aimed to have 200 members in
the first year to cover costs, ignoring any time spent. After
about two weeks they realised they needed nearer 400. By
November 1993 they had over 2000 subscribers and by August
1994 they had about 11000 with 20% per month growth. All
revenues have been reinvested in resources and expansion of
service.
Demon link to Sprintlink in the United States making them
totally independent. They peer with EUNet and PIPEX to
ensure good connectivity in Great Britain as well as having
links to the JANET/JIPS UK academic network. A direct
line into the {Department of Computing, Imperial College,
London (http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk)} from their Central
London Point of Presence (PoP) (styx.demon.co.uk) gives
access to the biggest FTP and Archie site in Europe.
Demon provide local call access to a large proportion of the
UK. The central London PoP provides leased line
connections at a cheaper rate for those customers in the
central 0171 area. Further lines and PoPs are being added
continuously.
Subscribers get allocated an Internet Address and can choose
a hostname within the demon.co.uk domain. They can have
any number of e-mail address at that host.
In October 1994 Demon confirmed a large contract with the
major telecommunications provider Energis. They will supply
guaranteed bandwidth to Demon's 10Mb/s backbone from several
cities and towns. Several PoPs will be phased out and
replaced with others during 1995.

network meltdown
(jargon) | network meltdown
n.
A state of complete network overload; the network equivalent of thrash
ing. This may be induced by a Chernobyl packet. See also {broadcast storm
}, kamikaze packet.
Network meltdown is often a result of network designs that are optimized
for a steady state of moderate load and don't cope well with the very
jagged, bursty usage patterns of the real world. One amusing instance of
this is triggered by the popular and very bloody shoot-'em-up game Doom on
the PC. When used in multiplayer mode over a network, the game uses
broadcast packets to inform other machines when bullets are fired. This
causes problems with weapons like the chain gun which fire rapidly — it can
blast the network into a meltdown state just as easily as it shreds
opposing monsters.
