Fireside developer chat on saturday night

It definitely feels like the bleak mid-winter. So why not have a cosy Saturday night in? Throw another log on the fire and join some very informal and friendly chat with other RISC OS developers online.

A creditable showing for the BBC Micro against various souped-up Apple IIs, but no Second Processor versions which (by the end of 1984) included 65C02, Z-80B, 6809 and 68000 options. All would have been faster yet.
Later there'd be 65C102, 80186, 80286, 32016 and of course ARM.

Ever wanted to know how your ZX81 ranked against a CRAY supercomputer from 1984? Assuming your eyesight is good enough, now you know.

Indeed, new stories always emerge at occasions like this. I was lucky enough to see a similar gathering last year when Steve Furber retired from Manchester University.

I've just uploaded an update to my RISC OS !RMA utility, primarily to fix RO3 compatibility (thanks to Phil Pemberton for the report) but I noticed I hadn't released the previous version that featured an important upgrade - the ability to explore ANY Heaped Dynamic Area. So, a useful update:
