RISC OS "New Year is traditionally a time in which the achievements, surprises and disappointments of the previous year are reflected upon. Often, in spite of the fireworks and wild parties, time is set aside in which to dwell upon one's private thoughts. As 2008 is now underway I've found myself mulling over my involvement with RISC OS. Whether I like it or not, my involvement in the Acorn and RISC OS scene has been a significant part of my life over the past 27 years."

Acorn reminds me of Amiga in some areas, not so much in others. Both had potential, but squandered it. Just because you were the first to do something does not mean you will succeed.
