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).

Cheers
