Limited I feel unless you have some of the superb commercial software
to use with it. Unfortunately many of the developers have jumped ship
so little new stuff is available. Having said that the OS is still
being developed including some commercial software. Many of the PD
offerings are excellent - I'm still using software developed by you
many years ago. As I see it the biggest issue for RISC OS is the lack
of a JavaScript browser although I've been informed that one or two are
in development - always optimistic!

As you imply Druck it uses the tiniest of resources and because it's
not constantly having to access the disc an SD card lasts much longer
(years perhaps) than it would with a Linux based system.
