A series of 6502-based personal computers launched by {Acorn
Computers} Ltd. in January 1982, for use in the British
Broadcasting Corporation's educational programmes on
computing. The computers are noted for their reliability (many
are still in active service in 1994) and both hardware and
software were designed for easy expansion. The 6502-based
computers were succeeded in 1987 by the Acorn Archimedes
family.
xbeeb is a BBC Micro emulator for Unix and X11.

The Micro User (titled BBC Micro User in the first three issues) was a British specialist magazine catering to users of the BBC Microcomputer series, Acorn Electron, Acorn Archimedes and, to a limited extent, the Cambridge Z88. It had a comprehensive mix of reviews of games, application software, and the latest Acorn computers; type-in programs (duplicated on a "cover disk" which was available separately), a correspondence page offering help with computer problems, and approachable technical articles on programming and the BBC Micro's internals.
