Phoebe is an important machine for Acorn. It will act as a demonstrator for their hardware and software design skills, as well as being a test-bed for future Network Computer and Set-Top Box designs. Acorn want this computer to stand out from the crowd - it will visually, but what about technically?
The Information presented here was gathered from the preview, presentations, and Acorn Engineers themselves. If you spot any errors or omissions, please let me know. I would also welcome your analysis or opinions on Acorn's new design. Nick.
