Last month’s Wakefield RISC OS Computer Club (WROCC) meeting saw Mark Stephens talk about how he uses RISC OS and MacOS side by side, and the benefits of being able to do so – as well as the problems that can frustrate the combination. This month the group is going to look at something very similar – this time the use of RISC OS in conjunction with Windows.

Read MoreMacOS meets RISC OS with Mark Stephens & WROCC – 7th June
RISC OS has always been a nice operating system to use, with some user interface (UI) features that set it apart from the competition, but we all know that it can also be frustrating to use because of the many features and facilities it lacks – which is why, for most users, it has to be used alongside (or under emulation on) computers running something else. This means that for RISC OS to continue to be useful, not only does it need to stand out with its UI, but it…
Read MoreTake a look at risks and RISC OS with MUG
Security is an important issue – especially in the modern world where most computers are connected to the internet, whether just occasionally, or almost all the time. While there is a lot to be gained from being so easily connected to just about anyone, anywhere on the planet, you also need to keep both yourself (and your family) and your data safe – because you’re connected to just about anyone, anywhere on the planet!

Sibelius was a music notation – or score writing – package, allowing people to put music to paper (via the screen) in much the same way a writer might use a word processing package. Named for Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, the first version was released in April 1993 – thirty years ago this month. The software went on to become a killer application for RISC OS, putting the operating system on the map for musicians, with some even buying RiscPCs just to run Sibelius – including institutions such as the…
