I don’t think anyone can possibly disagree with me when I say that 2020, so far, has been an unusual year. Most of the world is in some form of lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus) pandemic, with movements beyond our homes and interactions with people beyond our own households at a minimum – which means (in a RISC OS context) shows and user group meetings aren’t taking place.

Show report: London 2019
The 2019 RISC OS London Show took place on Saturday, 26th October – and once again (speaking as an exhibitor) seemed to be a buzzing, exciting show with plenty for the visitor to see and experience. It was the 11th London Show, with the first having taken place on 3rd October, 2009, and there was a good mix of exhibitors including large well known RISC OS names and smaller home-based operators.

RISC OS in video #01
How about another new trial feature? There is a growing number of videos on YouTube that are either about RISC OS, mention it in some way, or at least may be of interest to its users.

It’s a software pick ‘n’ mix at RISC OS North
As with any computer system, when using RISC OS you’ll need software to run on it – and you’ll be certain to have some already. As an existing user you’ll have built up a collection of applications you use, and may want to add to it.
