released RISC OS 5.13 this weekend, its first free update since the paid-for release of 5.12. The ROM image can be fetched from Castle's iyonix.com website. The new version of their 32bit stream of the operating system is the result of a bug fixing exercise: its 'key features' are two updates for the Filer, two updates for the Pinboard, a fix for the Display Manager, an update for the Repeat command, a fix within the Shared C Library module, an update for the BASIC assembler, and a fix for the EtherK network driver.

Has anyone here ever bought an Iynoix machine?
I priced one of their 600 MHz systems to over $2,157.
What a bargin!
RISC OS 5.x looks like Windows 95 with slightly improved gradient icons and buttons. Based on the feature list, its about as functional too.
Of course I'm sure its secure since the entire OS resides in an EEPROM chip rather than a hard drive.
Linux is supported too. A port of Debian Woody for the very latest in open-source innovations. Nice!
OK, I'm sorry. I just couldn't resist. :-)
