Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The BBC Microcomputer System (aka "BBC" or just "Beeb"), built by Acorn Computers under the auspices of (naturally) The BBC, was one of the main competitors in the 1980s home computer wars in Britain, the others including the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The Beeb was originally the cornerstone of the BBC Computer Literacy Project and was intended to be an educational tool and the vehicle for the Project's BBC BASIC language; it certainly turned out to be that, but also became known as a gaming platform and an early technology for computer special effects. |
