The Acorn-designed ARMs were released in the late 1980s and very early 1990s. The best-selling designs are the recent ones which do share heritage but are far removed from the excellent work that Furber, Wilson and team did while at Acorn.

The ability to assign memory to various aspects of the system dynamically by dragging bar charts is something I wish existed in modern operating systems. Sheer UX genius. I wonder who came up with it?

Acorn did the reference profile NC for Oracle, and it was an ARM7-based machine with NCOS, a stripped down version of RISC OS. The Acorn-built NCs were then sold under a variety of brandings, including Acorn's own and Xemplar (the Acor

If you press F3 (the standard save shortcut in RISC OS), you get a Save As dialogue box which will persist even if you mouse-out.

The main limitations of the multitasking command window were that it couldn't be used to drop into a language like the inbuilt BASIC interpreter and then change screen modes in BASIC code, or draw graphics using the BASIC plotting ke

Acorn bought-in a couple of GUIs for RISC iX (Motif mwm/twm in later versions, X.desktop from IXI Ltd in the earlier release), but I'm not sure if any were exclusive, and none looked like the RISC OS GUI - I wouldn't characte

It's interesting to ponder which inconsequential aspects of modern life will become emblematic of the 2020s in 20 years' time. I would not have predicted the magenta palm trees of Miami Vice as being representative of the '80

Pg_vector seems to be getting a lot of mindshare but it's worth noting that pgvecto.rs also exists and has some features that pg_vector doesn't, including multithreaded indexing.

Acorn's own first-party browser was "Browse". The documentation viewer that came preinstalled on the RiscPC/A7000 machines shared code with this, and that's about as close as one gets to having a "built-in&quot

Human-level intelligence has never emerged from random chance. We humans evolved, and that's via a Darwinistic process of natural selection - which is about as far from random chance as one could get. Mutations are random - they provid
