Snippets – 9th January, 2022
A roundup of 2021 news and releases not already covered on RISCOSitory With 2021 now behind us, the time has come for one final round up of news that hasn’t already found its way onto onto these pages – although this time, in fact, it’s the only round up of such news for 2021; for 2020, a snippets post appeared half way through the year and then another just after the year ended – but no earlier post has been compiled for 2021.

Snippets – 13th January, 2018
A round-up of 2017 news that could have been reported on at the time if people had only sent it this way!
