Re: What does RISC OS mean to you?

Well I am still a loyal RISC OS user and use the PC for when the RISC
OS /Iyonix just can't hack it.

In the church or hospital Power Point is a must and the new version in
MS 2007 is even better than it's predecessor. I guess using VA you
could knock something up to do a presentation but it is easier to use
their lap top with your lecture/ sermon on a pen.

Having said that for complex books and leaflets Ovation Pro is so easy
to use and one has the joy of transferring in to OProPC with
simplicity itself. Grief why use MSWord? Use of programs such as
Thump enable me to find illustrations fast! Draw is magnificent. Can't
afford Artworks yet 8-(

Organizer meets my diary needs and as it is going to be developed
further will continue to way into the future.

As for email and browsing I am more than happy with my RComp programs
and Netsurf. I look forward to a quicker FireFox and the ability of
RISC OS browsers to access my Bank (RBS) as only MS will do that.

Never got to grips with what FTPc does and long for a better !Flash
program,.

Ghostscript has never let me down and I use it all the time. It is so
easy to use. I love the little programs that make life easy such as
Searchy, Dict and ClipBoard.

The only thing that worries me is it does not seem so friendly and
helpful as it was. My query took along time to be responded to and I
had to suffer from quite a lot of boring jokes about the subject till
MW came to the rescue. Great man that he is. How would we cope with
out him and DP and the others.

Cheers

Alan
