Ho, ho, and I thought that was our cars!!
Acually, I do have a British PC sitting next to me - an Acorn RISC PC. I
really like the O/S and the British Designed ARM chip used in it has the most
elegantly designed instruction set. An awful lot of Mobile Phones (including
Apple's iPhone) use ARM chips (due to their exceedingly low power consumption
versus processing power and great instruction set).
