I’m back.. slobber.. gulp.. a 64-bit RISC OS would in all respects except for the Desktop be an entirely new beast all together since more than three decades has passed since 26/32-bit RISC OS were left in the dust from the ARM (Acorn RISC Machine) since it had evolved way beyond it. Just think on running RO w. legacy emulation on a https://www.fujitsu.com/global/products/computing/servers/supercomputer/a64fx/#anc-02 , never mind native software, and Bob’s yer uncle. Take the desktop where it needs to be. |

Merry Christmas. And also from the world of AI nonsense. It is possible that an advanced alien civilization could develop a complete 64-bit ARM emulation of a RISC OS Archimedes system if they had the necessary knowledge and resources but we do not know what their technological capabilities are. |

MODE 12! |

That’s old hat. Or to quote BingBot’s inebriated CoPilot “I’m not sure what you mean by “MODE 12””. Get the NEC MultiSync out and go MODE 20 my friend. Who could want more? Apart from MODE 16 that is? |

Does either of these modes make color correction (toward a CMYK gamut for instance )an issue? Can’t check these days. |

Would that be 64bit color :-/ |

God Jul BTW, Mr Tengelsen, that’s not one of the RO messages that needs translating. Unless there’s a winter solstice app I’ve missed. |

So Mr Pampling, should we go Pagan and make the 21’st of December a Basic app which could be a small RM saying “Wavesynth Beep” when it came would be pretty nice for all Pagans of RISC OS. Bugger Archons. |

Oh, and with a “Brighter Days Ahead” template thingy in the middle of the desktop thingy to make it obvious. My favorite course is dried cod in salty wind. What else is new. |
