My browser had this down as a phising site? The actual content seems fine though.

Confirm via uBo. Didn't bother with content because of that.

Actually parts of the content aren't loading, probably also due to it being listed? Strange though! I wonder what happened?

Brings back good memories of playing fun games with my siblings.

Our first computer was an Acorn BBC B Microcomputer.

Same here (Firefox on Windows). But when I opened it in Firefox on my Android phone, it seems fine.

The site is fine. Doesn't show up as anything bad on Firefox on Mac. I've been reading the site for months, never had a problem.

The "Icon Tray" here is actually the "Icon Bar" and discussed so widely it's the name of the main Risc OS forum to this day.

Pipedream always was spectacularly odd, even at the time.

In some ways Archimedes' RiscOS was ahead of its time, in some ways it was a disappointment. It never matured due to lack of momentum, market share.

I suppose that most of all, it reminds me of time when actual, genuine real innovation in UI design was still on the menu.
