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

cheers,
 Stewart

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