The two machines look<br />
different but philosophically<br />
they have a lot in common<br />
F<br />
riend of The MagPi<br />
Michael Reed has taken<br />
some fantastic shots<br />
with his Acorn Archimedes.<br />
Here’s what he said: “Released<br />
in 1987, the A310 was one of the<br />
fastest computers that money<br />
could buy, and it was the first<br />
computer system that made use<br />
of an ARM processor. Almost 30<br />
years later, the Pi Zero, one of the<br />
newest ARM-based computers,<br />
is about a hundred times faster.<br />
The two machines look different<br />
but philosophically they have a<br />
lot in common, in that they’re<br />
both begging to be prodded,<br />
experimented with, and learned<br />
from. Basically, with a Pi, if<br />
you have an idea that involves<br />
programming, electronics, or any<br />
crazy combination of the two,<br />
even the sky’s not the limit – just<br />
ask the crew of the International<br />
Space Station!”<br />
