So you thought you would find here an impartial, knowledgeable comparison of RISC OS with the more popular and better known operating systems? Think again; I have been so steeped in RISC OS, since even before its appearance two decades ago, were that possible, and I am so ignorant of other operating systems, that I cannot honestly deliver to you a balanced picture. Well, that is the modern usage of apology over with, so let us get on to the older sense. Note: This is the 2nd entry to our Alternative OS Contest which runs through 14th July!

That was my point. All programmers are users but not all users are programmers. The statement "in theory users can write their own" implies that non-programmers can create file systems. To me, that's what it sugests anyway.
I'd be happy with the statement, "Users can create their own icons".
"Programmers can create their own file systems" is a truer, less abigious statement.
