<p>ahhh, the memories of somebody accidentally bumping the gang-switch accompanied by moans of despair from users with unsaved work... :-) </p>

Since the Raspberry Pi is so chock full of Acorn BBC Model B<br>
references (the name, the team, the [originally*] Acorn-designed ARM<br>
processor) it would've been a nice touch. Ah, the memories of turning<br>
on gang switch in the school computer lab, and having a room full of<br>
Beebs squawk into life ...<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>

*: I'll concede that there's very little in common with the<br>
instruction set sketched out by Sophie Wilson and used in the Acorn<br>
Archimedes, and the ARM9 in the RP, tho'.<br>
