Castle Technology Limited, named after Framlingham Castle, is a British computer company based in Cambridge, England. It began as a producer of ARM computers and manufactured the Acorn-branded range of desktop computers that run RISC OS.
Following the break-up of Acorn in 1998, Castle Technology bought the rights to continue production of the RISC PC and A7000+ computers under the Acorn brand. Castle Technology laster bought the rights to RISC OS from Pace and released the Iyonix PC, the first desktop computer to use the Intel XScale microarchitecture. Castle Technology and RISCOS subsequently agreed to merge RISC OS 4 and RISC OS 5 together.
Famous quotes containing the words castle and/or technology:
“Let me be at the place of the castle.
Let the castle be within me.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
