I used RISC OS a long time ago on a Acorn (can't remember the model, had
the disk drive & everything in with the keyboard). At the time I didn't
really know a whole lot about computers but I thought it was quite easy
to use.
Anyway, I now have a virtual computer museum on the web, and want to
find out more about the RISC OS and the Acorn computers in general, so I
can add to my bare Acorn pages.
Can you tell me anything about the RISC OS (history etc.) that would be
suitable for my webpage?
Thanks
