Hey, Sluggo! Come back here with my comments!

I'm not actually ignoring the comments everyone is making in my journal. Only, Sluggo has taken to crashing so often that I run out of time before I run out of responses. He eats a lot of stuff that I try to post, too. But there might be some new components after the first of the year. Depends on what I can work out. In the meantime, my apologies for seeming to ignore you. I am trying to keep up with the reading.

Ever heard of Acorn computers? RISC OS (http://www.bolsterstone.demon.co.uk/riscos/riscos1.html) and more (http://www.riscos.org).

I was shown an Acorn Archimedes a good few years ago and it was amazingly fast - a bit pricey though - thought they had disappeared forever.

Apparently some companies are going to start building more of these RISC machines - at least they would be a viable alternative to Apples, Windows and Linux.

I'm going to check one out before I get my next PC - I really really want to avoid XP at all costs.
