Acorn finally folded in the late 1990s. Their operating system, RISC OS was further developed by a consortium of suppliers.

A function is computable if an algorithm can be implemented which will give the correct output for any valid input.

Unfortunately, by definition, there isn't an easy way of describing any of them! In fact, there are many tasks (not just calculating real numbers) that computers cannot perform. The most well-known is the halting problem, the busy beaver problem is less famous but just as fascinating.
