Why isn't there a decent browser for RISC OS? I mean, it's like looking at the Internet in 1995 using the one browser I can get to work.

On the plus side: I got my RISC PC doing Internet things using an Airport Extreme and a cable.

Do I get out of bed now or later?

Have woken up and stayed nice and warm for the last ten minutes or so. I'm at that point where I can fall back into slumber, or if I get up, I can do some revision.

Decisions, decisions....

Time to get off my arse and go down the shop. I'm on my third cup of tea from the same tea bag and it looks like dishwater. :bratty:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Time to get off my arse and remove the back seats of my car so I can go and collect some big stuff from the house later today.
The sooner that's done the better.
I also need to make phone calls as the person I tried to contact yesterday was clearly out of the office (or just not answering his phone).

Given that it's Good Friday, will they still be available?

Seats successfully removed. (8+)
As far as I'm aware I'm still on for getting my stuff tonight.

I would have written it as:

10 PRINT "Bring back BASIC!";
20 GOTO 10

That would work, but in BBC BASIC (at least) the semi colon makes the computer print the next iteration of the text on the same line, so you would get something like this:

Bring back BASIC!Bring back BASIC!Bring back BASIC!Bring back BASIC!Bring back BASIC!Bring back BASIC!

Exactly, that gives a nice diagonal full-screen scroll effect... although I'd usually put a space in and possibly some color (sic) :lol:
