    In some ways Archimedes' RiscOS was ahead of its time, in some ways it was a disappointment. It never matured due to lack of momentum, market share.

    I suppose that most of all, it reminds me of time when actual, real innovation in UI design was still on the menu.

    The "Icon Tray" here is actually the "Icon Bar" and discussed so widely it's the name of the main Risc OS forum to this day.

    Pipedream always was spectacularly odd, even at the time.

    Brings back good memories of playing fun games with my siblings.

    Our first computer was an Acorn BBC B Microcomputer.

    My browser had this down as a phising site? The actual content seems fine though.

      The site is fine. Doesn't show up as anything bad on Firefox on Mac. I've been reading the site for months, never had a problem.

      Same here (Firefox on Windows). But when I opened it in Firefox on my Android phone, it seems fine.

      Confirm via uBo. Didn't bother with content because of that.
