Acorn Pocket Book
Essentially a rebadged OEM version of the Series 3 with slightly different on-board software, the Acorn Pocket Book was marketed by Acorn Computers as an inexpensive computer for schoolchildren, rather than as an executive tool. The hardware was the same as the Series 3, but the integrated applications were different; for instance, the Pocket Book omitted the Agenda diary application, which became an optional install from floppy diskette. Other programs were renamed: 'System' became 'Desktop', 'Word' became 'Write', 'Sheet' became 'Abacus' and 'Data' became 'Cards'.

Famous quotes containing the words pocket and/or book:
“They would have me as familiar with men’s pockets as their
gloves or their handkerchiefs; which makes much against my
manhood, if I should take from another’s pocket to put into
mine; for it is plain pocketing up of wrongs.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... the wife of an executive would be a better wife had she been a secretary first. As a secretary, you learn to adjust to the boss’s moods. Many marriages would be happier if the wife would do that.”
—Anne Bogan, U.S. executive secretary. As quoted in Working, book 1, by Studs Terkel (1973)
