  1. Proper RISC OS piccys on First Desktop Computer To Use Intel's XScale · · Score: 1

    go to www.epistaxsis.ukgateway.net for a picture of a RISC OS desktop.

    WARNING! this is a 2048x1536 24bit JPEG so if you're bandwidth restricted it'll take a while.

    Doesn't it look nice?

    This is one of the reasons I use RISC OS - can you imagine windows/linux/BeOS/MacOS being as clear in such a resolution (I have tried all except MacOS in 1600x1200 and they were unreadable!)?
    Note also the lack of text based File/Edit/View stuff in the windows (or top of screen for mac users...) - this is all done on the middle mouse button. This is one of the best features of the WIMP as it lets you perform an action on an object without shifting the mouse - which is brill for graphics.
    BTW you get a text editor, a bitmap prog & a vector prog built into the ROM - how cool is that?
