You may have had that floppy, but where were you to obtain Acorn-format/content floppies? Getting your new Risc PC on the Internet was bothersome. http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13260&page=1#125634 At least the RiscPC had a floppy drive you could directly get software onto the platform with (equivalent of inserting a USB stick). The current distribution could do with a modal popup... http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13260&page=1#125633 I agree with this sentiment: the entire platform is a minefield for 'getting started'. I set up a Pi back in 2017-ish, and it wasn't simple. Yet I'd been using RISC OS from 1988 to 2002! http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13260&page=1#125632 Yeah, the standard ROOL image has been criticised before for being rather, err... bland :-( It's basically still the RiscPC disc image from 30 years ago! http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13260&page=1#125631 Appear to have missed a trick, or several, at least with the Pi image. http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13253&page=1#125630 Another excellent meeting this forthcoming Monday. Looking forward to hearing to what all Andy has to say. http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13268&page=1#125629 Will the Style to HTML converter also work with Publisher and Publisher Plus documents? http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13261&page=1#125628 Is a show report being written or are we not getting one? http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13236&page=1#125627 Compo was always one of those particularly brilliant RISC OS programs and having it back would be quite the boon. http://www.iconbar.com/forums/viewthread.php?threadid=13260&page=1#125626 I love how the RISC OS scene is still alive and kicking over 25 years after Black Thursday. Sure, there's some major work to do, like 64bit, but what's been achieved so far is brilliant. The fact that RISC OS itself is still actively developed, as is software to run on it, is no mean feat. Well done, guys, and thank you!
