RISC OS
RISC OS is a fast and lightweight computer operating system designed in Cambridge,
England by Acorn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_Computers) . First released in
1987, its origins can be traced back to the original team that developed the ARM
microprocessor. RISC OS includes BBC BASIC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
BBC_BASIC) which was primarily conceived to teach programming skills as part of the
BBC computer literacy project.
