I also agree with you Alexander. I seem to have forgotten more than most
people know about computers these days. Education seems to be about using
the basic functions of Word/Excel, with little Knowledge about the
workings. Perhaps we were lucky growing up with BBCs, Archimedes et al,
where we could learn. I also miss the likes of Beebug/Risc User which
helped you learn about the machines.
As to modern machines, most Windows stuff spends 90% of it's life
continually updating installing stuff. Whereas RISC OS you turn the
machine on knowing you can get on with the task in hand.
With Iris, I can now do a lot more web based stuff than in the past.
Kind regards
John
