Yeah, I supose it is a bit odd, but they do exist [Vast numbers of them]. Has any one tried one?? Any recomendations?? I saw AMPLE, but it was for the RISC OS. And a few others on Google.

I've never used these, but they're based around Haskell, so they must be good!

RISC OS? YOU'VE USED RISC OS(Thats acorn computers right).
Ah.... fond fond memories of those useless computers in primary school, still its nice to know someone else other than me has heard of them!

Ughm, well, that was the first time I had even heard of RISC OS.

RISC OS computers rocked. They were piss easy to program for I made millions of programs in school for them.

I'm thinking maybe RISC OS was mainly used in the UK?? They seem to run on Arm CPUs, and some companies still appear to make RISC OS Computers.

Yeah, I think they were sucessors to those old BBC computers!(Anyone remember them?) I wonder if they still make them (I know they were made as recently as '97. I'd be interested to get hold of one cheap just for the sake of it.

first time I hear of RISC OS... does it have to do something with RISC CPU's or is that just a coincidence?
Posted by ItinitI [send private reply] at November 27, 2002, 03:02:56 PM
Um, I dunno? I read that they use Arm 3 CPUs, and StrongArm CPUs.

I dunno, I was too young to understand properly what a CPU is.

I believe some UK education board decided to use Acorns because they are really easy to use, the GUI is similar to windows and software was cheap for it. In Hong Kong all the UK (International) schools used Acorn computers.
There was a hell of alot of really kewl apps you could get for Acorn. There was a presentation program called Genesis that was WAY ahead of Powerpoint and Flash. It had some kewl art programs too, which I still havn't seen any features ported into any windows art/photoshop programs.

I believe the computers themselves were also cheapo. Our education board that any school not using Acorn would recieve not an iota of technical support, so Acorns it was.

I saw the new ones for 799GBP to around 1000GBP, I think notebooks were around 1500GBP. So, a little cheaper than good PCs. Older ones may have been even cheaper.
