How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Leave RISC OS

RISC OS "Last month, I thought I left RISC OS. After 19 years of using Acorn or Acorn-derived computers, my love affair is no longer. I sit here writing this on my Mac Mini, and very happy I am with it too. My Iyonix lies abandoned - still sitting under the desk here, but not connected. And not actually used for some time. And it's weird - because, in some strange way, I thought I would be using RISC OS forever. In January 2005, I said: 'There's people who annoy me on the RISC OS scene, and I still wouldn't think of leaving. The nice people more than cancel it out, and besides - I just couldn't really do without using RISC OS.' So what changed?"

You brought it all back to me with the Sinclair QL, what fond memories I have. I remember having 16K EPPROM that had a desktop like environment called ICE, with ICE paint ... Would be good if OSNews covered home computer emulators.
