Might anyone be able to find the BBC Basic source of "A Meagre Demonstration" which is a Boing demo for the Archimedes - from back in the day? Asking for a friend.
As seen on the BBC’s computer news programme Micro Live. Broadcast on BBC One, 14 December 1987, presented by Fred Harris and Lesley Judd. Also repackaged in Micro File 2, episode The Generation Game.
"We have a completely novel CPU, built by a tiny team of engineers who had never designed a processor before, running a bespoke operating system squeezed out in a rush to meet the shipping deadline of a computer that wanted to carry on the legacy of a system beloved by British schoolchildren, hosting a productivity suite that completely rethought what the term productivity suite even meant."

A truly unique combination. We have the first ARM-based home computer, powering a bespoke OS, running software that says, "The barriers between productivity apps are a lie we tell ourselves."
This introduced so many new technologies, I had to run a check on "Where are they now?" The ARM chip's legacy is a given, but the other stuff in the stack might surprise you.
