Unregistered user Ridiculous. I can totally understand why people want RISC OS to be spelt/pronounced correctly - but ROL is an extremely convinient abbreviation. You can't say abbreviations are wrong! True, I wouldn't use it in a formal document, but for casual conversations...

Unregistered user Just had on Tomorrows world some new computery stuff.

Virtual keyboard which is projected onto a flat surface, they're thinking they'll work their way into PDAs and mobile phones to make typing on them easier.

Also a data-glove type keyboard thing where you wave your hand round in the air and twiddle a finger to activate a key.

They're thinking it's going to be incorporated into a wearable computer (Headset project-onto-glasses type thing).... Just hope it's gonna be ARM powered smile

Unregistered user Do you remember the person doing at great deal of heckling at Paul Middleton's talk at RISC OS 2001? Who was that? Does anyone know? Paul Middleton was getting really pmonkeyssed off tongue

Cerilica's demo was really good - they obviously know how to work Vantage - I only know how to crash it grin
