The Acorn Electron (described in Which Micro as 'a winner') is probably, for the price, the most advanced personal computer on the market. This guide, published with the full co-operation of the manufacturers, describes and explains everything a non-technical owner needs to know in order to get the most from this versatile and amazing new machine. The Electron is designed to be fun, useful and above all, the best introduction to the new Age of Computers. It has been developed by the people responsible for the BBC Micro - the machine that is part of the syllabus of over 80% of our schools. Both computers understand the same language and both have been designed to grow with your understanding of their capabilities and your needs. You may be thinking of buying this book because you have just bought the new Acorn Electron or maybe you have bought the machine as a present for a friend or relative. Whichever is the case, The Acorn Guide to the Electron is the indispensable companion to the machine.
This guide serves as the primary instructional manual for the Acorn Electron personal computer, aiming to bridge the gap between non-technical users and the machine's advanced capabilities. The text is produced in collaboration with the manufacturer to ensure accuracy for new owners. It positions the Electron as a logical entry point into personal computing, emphasizing its compatibility with the BBC Micro and its utility in educational and home environments.
