Read More‘Not the London Show’ news from RISCOSbits
A regular exhibitor at RISC OS shows, RISCOSbits would have been at the one originally planned for tomorrow. However, as we (hopefully) all know, the London Show isn’t going ahead – but over the Summer and early Autumn Andy Marks from RISCOSbits has been working on a few new bits and pieces; things that would have been launched, released, shouted about from the rooftops (or at least a set of tables) at the show.

Read MoreLondon Show covid-19 alert
ROUGOL, the organisers of the London Show have been notified that someone who was at the event has tested positive for Covid-19 this week. It’s unlikely that they contracted the virus at the show, because their symptoms first appeared on Monday, but it’s possible they may have been infectious on the Saturday. Those known to have been in close contact have therefore already been notified, and thankfully all have tested negative. However, others who were at the show may wish to take a home lateral flow test themselves, just to…
