Twenty Years of RISC OS Open | Hacker News

A Hacker News post marked 20 years of RISC OS Open with a personal retrospective on developing for RISC OS.

The author recalled building !Director, a popular desktop customization and shortcut app written entirely in ARM assembly.

!Director was later extended with BASIC plugins and distributed via Arcade BBS and Acorn User magazine.

The post also notes the writer still owns a RiscPC that has not been powered on in years.
