Examples

“Like⟳ Danny, I made the difficult decision to take⟳ a close⟳ look⟳ at Windross at Xmas96. The OS is a monster it's true; but IMHO it also brings alternative ways of achieving your objectives which are, as I have⟳ tried to show⟳, not available in the Acorn environment. Recent threads on Acorn v Windross in schools don't seem to focus⟳ on this?”

“The Windross user experience⟳ is awful. I migrated to the Mac, and while it's amazing to have⟳ inDesign, XPress, Photoshop, Acrobat, etc. right there, Mac OS 8/9's GUI was nothing on RISC OS and it's difficult to describe⟳ in any meaningful way Mac OS X's GUI is better than Windows - especially as the responsiveness remains poor.”

“I copy⟳ the file⟳ to a plain Jane Lexar thumb drive⟳, then move⟳ the drive⟳ to Windoze. Windross does it's^([sic]) usual popup game: "Yay! Look⟳ at me! I found something! Yay! It's a USB device! Yay! I'm setting it up now! Yay! Look⟳ at me!!"”
