Efforts were made to market the machine in the United States and West Germany.[20] By October 1983, the US operation reported that American schools had placed orders with it totalling $21 million.[21] In one deployment in Lowell, Massachusetts valued at $177,000, 138 BBC Micros were installed in eight of the 27 schools in the city, with the computer's networking capabilities, educational credentials, and the availability of software with "high education quality" accompanied by "useful lesson plans and workbooks" all given as reasons for selecting Acorn's machine in preference to the competition from IBM, Apple and Commodore.[22] Another deployment in Phoenix, Arizona valued at $174,697 saw 175 BBC Micros installed, with the local Acorn dealer predicting sales worth $2 million in the following two years, split between 85 to 90 percent in education and the remainder in small business. In early 1984, Acorn claimed a US network of more than 1,000 dealers.[23]
