Feeling grungy about the use of "both" a few posts back re OS's - I use Windows 2000, about 4 types of Linux (on a regular basis), Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 (Classic): the only reason I don't, at present, use RISC OS 5, is that I have to find a way to pay for an Iyonix {By-Ther-Way - several schools in the UK have just upgraded their Archimedes computers}.

That makes at least 4: and "both" means only 2.

There are 2 definitions of "a killer app" and the one I don't like is "the amazing app that ties users in to a dependence on one OS for ever".

Wouldn't it be super if RR were to evolve into the other type of Killer app: the type which, regardless of OS, hardware, or whatever, nobody could do without?

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
