In The Times today, alongside the news that ARM has sold HP the idea
of using its chips "in their low-energy servers, posing a challenge to
Intel's dominance in the computer hardware market", it mentioned that
"the British company wants to popularise its chips . . for use in
personal computers and corporate services."

Since many people, like me, have small holdings of ARM shares (legacy
of our investing in Acorn) would it be an idea for a/some
shareholder(s) to suggest to the CEO of ARM that it would be a good
idea, not least for PR, to remember its roots and how they sparked
off a revolution in programming education, and mention these new
prospects? After all, it is the ubiquitous ARM chip that's being used.
