Awesome. As someone who spent 10 years with RISC OS, this just rocks.

10 years ago is very late in the RISC OS lifecycle, so I'm curious -- how did you come to discover it then?

I didn't read the grandparent as meaning "the past ten years" but "ten years at some point in the past".

That is correct. 1987 - 1997...

Ah, yes, my brain inserted "the last" in there somehow.

having always been mildly regretful at having missed out on the archimedes (jumped from bbc b to x86), this sounds like a wonderful thing to explore.

It was pretty good but not as good as the beeb was so you didn't miss out on a lot. The architecture was a lot more complex.

I thought the architecture was sublime. ARM / RISC-OS development was a joy.

It was until the riscpc and a5000 machines.
