Ahem
- dspillett 9d agoMaybe I'm in a generous mood, but I would credit the writer with making a joke about the content of the film they had just mentioned and subsequently show a screen cap of work the subtitles for a line about RISC being a significant future technology, rather than being that historically inaccurate in their own tech memory.
- b800h 9d agoOh yes, "RISC is going to change everything". I remember that line. Clunky from the author, I think.
- richrichardsson 9d agoWas just coming to comment on that too. "Tell that to the ARM based Acorn Archimedes I was using at 6th Form College in 1991."
