At a bit less than 299,792,458 metres per second, but who’s counting? The Wradfold Show – aka the Wakefield Show when held in Bradford – is taking place this weekend, and RISCOSbits will be there with a number of interesting products.

Chris Hall brings a little speed to the next Wakefield meeting
Wait, officer, no, that’s definitely not what I meant! Computer technology in general tends to improve in a number of areas, with newer machines sporting any or all of more memory, greater storage, and faster processing speeds – although equal developments in the software that runs on them, to make use of those improvements, can sometimes mean the end user doesn’t necessarily notice the gains that have been made.

Andy Marks of RISCOSbits will be transported at high speed to the next Midlands User Group (MUG) meeting – or at least a digital representation will be, since the meeting will be held entirely online.
Read MoreFAST Show release from RISCOSbits
No, not that Fast Show. You’ll not find Rowley Birkin QC here! The RISC OS Southwest Show is so incredibly close now that the exhibitors are in the hall, teeth chattering and knees knocking at the prospect of the huge throngs of people that will be coming through the door in about half an hour’s time. They’re already lining up outside, and I gather the numbers are so high the queue is visible from the International Space Station.

Well, okay, shockingly good ones, anyway! Following on from yesterday’s ‘Not the London Show’ offers, RISCOSbits’ stock of Raspberry Pi 4-based machines hasn’t quite been depleted, so the company has decided to extend the offers to cover the Halloween and Bonfire Night period – at least while stocks last.
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. So let’s pretend we’re there, and look at what Andy would be telling us on the…
