On Castle terminates RISCOS Ltd. licence:

IMJ: You said you don't use RISC OS anymore - this might explain why you think there is more of a future in running RISC OS in an emulated environment on a Windows PC than developing and advancing modern hardware and a 32 bit OS. Bizarre! SparkY on 16/06/04 8:26PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Nunfetishist: I'm behind Castle, doesn't mean I'm anti-ROL or others. I have faith in what Castle do, they consistently show they deserve it. We do only have one side of the story, but it's a pretty strong side if you ask me. Tell me then, why haven't ROL spoken up? SparkY on 16/06/04 1:59PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

IMJ: You've made your anti-CTL stance clear many times in the past and now you're almost spitting blood. Relax, CTL have the right to terminate the license if its been breached. If it hasn't, the legal action will sort it out. SparkY on 16/06/04 1:50PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ]

Nunfetishist: what bit of "Castle is in discussions with the shareholders of ROL to find a way to offer RISC OS 4 and Select to users. It is expected this will lead to a satisfactory conclusion in the very near future" can't you read? I just think your speculation is a bit daft - think about all possibilities if you want but I would have thought Castle's statement was reasonably clear, considering the situation is ongoing.

On New RISC OS news site opens:

I also meant to add that I agree with Drobe's view that news reporting shouldn't just be about who can get the news up as quickly as possible. Whilst I'll make every effort to keep the news bang up to date, I'll happily wait half an hour if I can squeeze a better article out of it by getting in touch with the relevant parties for more info.

Prototype affordable Braille display in development
A low-cost computer-controlled Braille board has been prototyped by a RISC OS-using university student. Undergraduate Edward Rogers hopes to sell his completed units for as little as 200 quid each to schools and families to allow more blind children to continue learning Braille. And he said he wanted to launch his venture using RISC OS-powered kit before offering a package for other platforms.
