Announcement from Andrew Rawnsley, 22nd October, 2015. Following on from the announcements about the ARMX6’s enhanced, class leading graphical capabilities this summer, we had several requests for “complete system” bundles from customers. As such, we’re pleased to announce several bundle options at key price points for potential ARMX6 customers. Anyone who has already paid a deposit can choose one of these bundles too, so don’t worry 🙂

ARMX6 OS Update 4 and Super Pack 4 released, plus updated Aemulor
Announcement from Andrew Rawnsley, 20th October, 2015. R-Comp Interactive is pleased to announce the release of two major (free) updates for ARMX6 users. These updates are available to download now, and will be included on all new ARMX6 machines as standard.
ARMX6 display and networking capabilities improved
R-Comp Interactive’s already great ARMSX ARMX6 computer has just got better, thanks to an operating system update just released by the company. The headline feature of the update is support for ultra-high definition monitors. UHD monitors provide a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels – sometimes (arguably incorrectly) referred to as 4K or UHD 4K – giving twice the horizontal and vertical resolutions of high definition (1920×1080) displays, and thus offering four times the overall number of pixels and, therefore, four times the amount of desktop real estate.

Dozer screen saver reviewed
Introduction PackMan, the package management program for RISC OS computers, features an interesting screen saver program called !Dozer.
