80s Cambridge and Their Computer Revolution

Today, I wanna talk about 80s Cambridge in England, not that I'm running out of website to review, there's loads of websites for me to review. I actually want to talk about one of the more interesting things I've gathered up and that's the computer think-tanks and manufacturing force from Cambridge during the 80s. I'll just type these bizarre and heavily focused articles once in a while.

Where did this start? I was doing research on computer hardware over the years and the Spectrum and Acorn Hardware popped up. I was reading their wiki pages and found they had something in common, they were based in Cambridge in some point.

Sinclair was actually founded in Cambridge however they relocated their headquarter into London. They still carry that really intellect experience with them into London. A nice trait of intelligence that it's can freely can be carried around.

Anyways, I don't know what happened to Acorn. Maybe after Microsoft offered their OS system, people went into Microsoft's way of getting a computer software along with hardware and Acorn were struggling to get into the market and it ended for them in the year 2000. That's competition I suppose. A bit depressing if anyone was a big fan of Acorn,because they were the leaders of computers during the 80s and early 90s. It's nice to knowthat the OS for the Acorn is still around, the RISC OS.

Sinclair's hardware on the other hand was a different story, they went out there to make a bike, which is bizarre and went out of the way to ditch the computer business. That's a story for another time. They later sold the Spectrum trademark to another person to continue and it lost it's value when computers and their software from the United Stated show off what can be done which out the ZX Spectrum to shame. More on this another time.

Cambridge do make video games but that's really all they can do now days. That's all I can say about it for now.

Now Cambridge still brags about how 'culture' their town is, a town that people don't want to live in, which has a population of 100,000, compared to many other cities around the UK, that has alot more.Some places London have loads more then that. I think Cambridge is over-hyped and show off and when they burn out, they know and it all becomes a con-game for them and it's certainly put me off using computers for a while with the amazing stuff they had at the time. I suppose I'll have to sort that out and think that out for some time.
