During a recent newsgroup discussion on comp.sys.acorn.apps entitled "Future of Risc OS" (sic), Theo Markettos suggested that people would probably already have information that they could share with the community via the WIKI which lives at http://www.riscos.info/ and he posted a couple of links to the discussion.

It's nearly that time of year again when we are treated to a RISC OS Show in the South West of England. John Stonier, supported by the Bristol Acorn Risc User Group and Wessex ARM User Groups, have again organised a show at the now familiar venue of the The Webbington Hotel in Loxton.

 

Peter Naulls from the Unix Porting Project has ported the open source email client, Thunderbird to RISC OS, this is a demonstration version and is not yet fully functional.

You must own a A9Home or Iyonix (Virtual RiscPC?) machine in order for this to work,

RiscPC,RISCStation etc. machines will not run Thunderbird at this early stage in development.

We noticed this afternoon, shortly after lunch, that the Drobe web portal appears to have lost many recent articles going back from the present to 3rd of December 2006 (the most recent article up there at the time of writing).

Maybe they've had a hardware or disc crash and had to restore from an older backup. Hopefully this is just a temporary set back and that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. All the best guys.

It would be a shame to have lost all that pointless, wild, and uninformed speculation in the forums about the possible (or not) release of RISC OS source code and legal issues surrounding it, posted by so many people who just don't have a clue. :-)

Chuckle 1507 Reads funandhumour
Message from Sion Cleaver of Blasts of the Xtreme "We are very proud to announce the release of our first RISC OS demo, !Chuckle."

Chuckle is a rather simple demo where an alien presence hacks in to FBI computers and threatens to destroy the earth due to missiels being launched by accident at their home planet.

Chuckle can be downloaded from the downloads section of our site: www.blastsofthextreme.50megs.com

Mesage from Sion Cleaver of Blasts of the Xtreme "We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.10 of Era of the Phoenix.

In this new version, an extra map is added due to there being two copies of the same map. Thanks to Toopah for sorting that out!

All copies of Era of the Phoenix sold after this date will contain version 1.10 or better.

Everyone in our database of users will receive the update via e-mail very soon."

Alex Singelton has published an article on his website about how Acorn Computers Ltd. were thinking of finishing producing all RISC OS products three years before Black Wednesday when Acorn Computers Ltd. ceased production of their hardware and software.

Message from Sion Cleaver of Blasts of the Xtreme:

Adrian Lees ceased development of Cino many months ago as the current hardware did not allow Cino to run at a good enough speed.

So, instead of letting Cino gather dust on his hard disc, he has freely released it on his website. It is far from ready but it's the closest we're going to get for a RISC OS DVD player for quite a while!

You can download it from: http://adrian.aemulor.com/
