It's 2018 ... and I've ordered a new RISC OS computer

My first post here, but hopefully not my last. So …

I’ve just ‘ordered’ a new RISC OS computer, specifically a two slice Ident CD computer from here – http://www.ident-online.co.uk/computer/ce.html – and this was off the back of seeing Tom demo the machine at an event in Stratford-Upon-Avon a few weeks back. I was really impressed, and heartened, by the amount of RISC OS machines on display at the event (a computer science type event) and I thought it was time to get back in to the RISC OS scene. I’m also planning on learning C on the new machine as well, so all in all I’m looking forward to continuing my RISC OS journey – which isn’t something I ever really imagined I’d be saying, but thanks to the splendid people here at ROOL, and the work Tom’s doing, it’s something I can say.

Welcome! Although I think we met at Recursion – I was on the ROUGOL stand :-)

Yes, that was the event, Recursion. I see it’s on again in July. I’d love to make the Wakefield show, but it’s a bit of a trek for me, but London events are definitely doable. (I’ll probably go to the next Recursion too.)

Hi Paul,
This years Recursion event was moved from its normal July date. From what the organiser told me direct, it wont be running again in July this year as its only an annual event and may not even run at all next year (2019) This is to be confirmed, there is some open discussion about an alternative, but that is all it is at the moment.

If this is the last Recursion, should the next one go back to the previous year ?

From what I understand it looks unlikely to be any Recursion event in 2019 with the next one possibly in 2020, but if that happens, I dont know, and when it would be, again no idea.
