Tinkerer. I have bucketloads of admiration for the scientists, engineers, innovators, developers, authors and artists who make fun stuff happen. http://acm.org

I was expecting a bag of spanners, but pleasantly surprised #RISCPC #Logo #AcornComputers

AJ Sadauskas@deBaer @Kroc @dgar @nixCraft In fairness, RISC OS had a massive headstart in that it was the OS thst came pre-installed on the Acorn Archimedes.
Why's that significant?
Well, the Archimedes architecture was basically an ARM CPU, with a GPU and a sound chip. Often as what we'd now describe as a system on a chip.
Well, it took a few decades, but basically the Archimedes architecture won.
Pretty much every smartphone and tablet is basically a superpowered Archimedes. So is every new Mac. All Raspberry Pis. Most Chromebooks.
Even many Windows or Linux PCs are Archimedes!
We all use the Archimedes now!

A big shout-out to everyone who made it. The next fireside chat is pencilled in for the 9th August. #OpenSource #RISCOS #Community #Code4Fun #Zoom #Meetup #RaspberryPi #ARM #Rockchip #Retro #AcornComputers
Building a Debugger module for RISC OS (Live) https://www.youtube.com/live/6rofuLODIdg?si=uXs93Oygx2xQGKy5
Gerph's live coding - ARM disassembler (part 9).
Mark MoxonSometimes it's the small projects that are the most enjoyable.
Case in point: this month I'm building !EliteNet, which connects the #Archimedes version of #Elite to the Econet multiplayer scoreboard, so ArcElite players can compete against #BBCMicro players.
I last wrote a RISC OS application in 1995. That's 30 years ago! Turns out that BBC BASIC V is still a great language to code in.
And I've never written a RISC OS relocatable module before, so even now, this old dog is learning new ARM-based tricks.
And… ArcElite! ❤️
I absolutely love this hobby.
JSON AlexanderThread: I bought an Acorn Archimedes A310
This is the first consumer device with a RISC based processor (a few high end workstations preceded it) and the first wide public release of the ARM processor (the CPU inside of it is literally referred to as the ARM)
Managed to get it with the original cords, manuals, box for the monitor, mouse mat, and the purchase receipt 
just had to get it back to Nottingham from Llandudno on the train...
