Custom Cases, The Third By Peter Naulls. Published: 23rd Nov 2003, 00:39:51. The 'Nut Device' - in Lego As a quick follow-on to our recent Iyonix tarting-up article, and the A7000 Lego case a while back, Peter Howkins has come up with another Lego case. This time, it's a tower, in a fetching Acorn green, and the distinctive, if arguably dated, Acorn logo. Peter tells us it's still an A7000, but slightly updated, with about 120UKP worth of bricks from the new Lego store in Kingston. Somewhat more, you might note, than the worth of the computer parts.

How about a "Drobe Rocket" lego case ? You'd have to keep it out of the kids reach though. martin on 23/11/03 9:22AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Not if you glue the Lego together. vshears on 23/11/03 12:33PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] I wonder if his next project is going to be a Lego hoover? Or perhaps that A4 there needs a new case -- Spriteman Spriteman on 23/11/03 6:41PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] spriteman: Perhaps taking a spare TFT monitor, an A7000 and bodge up a laptop made of lego?

Daniel (cardiff mac dealer) is one of the foremost helpers on uk.comp.mac along with Stuart Bell. Remember SABEL from the sausage???? riscos group? cheers bob nijinsky on 24/11/03 9:52AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] nijinsky: "Remember SABEL from the sausage????" Are you Agent Seven? guestx on 24/11/03 4:16PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Perhaps Peter should change the Acorn logo to a cog, or have one on each side? Just a thought Andy. Hungry. andypoole on 24/11/03 5:58PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] I dont know who agent 7 is? But Stuart used the 'nic' sabel and was a prominent member of the south something acorn users group. I think they called it saussage or something. I'll get me coat. nijinsky on 25/11/03 9:39AM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] I remember Stuart's announcing he was leaving for pastures more rainbow coloured (and apple shaped) in one of the csa groups. And then I remember him coming back a few months later in search of some decent company ninja on 26/11/03 7:54PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Is it just me or does the picture on the web page from the following link remind you of something?

Published: 27 Apr 2009 RISC OS 5 pictured running on ARM Cortex-A8 kit Picture exclusive - This grainy photograph shows a port of RISC OS 5, sourced from the RISC OS Open project, running on a Beagleboard - a device powered by a 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor with a built-in graphics chip. The port, developed by Jeffrey Lee with help from Uwe Kall and ROOL staff, is seen as a major breakthrough for the shared-source project as it proves the OS can be ported to new hardware without the need for a large team of engineers.  75 comments, latest by rjek on 30/4/09 3:15PM.
