   RISC was not a distant dream in 1994 LMAO.

      That made me spit out my tea. The prose was insulting.

         I stopped reading on that line. The entire text is coming off as insulting, entitled and smug.

         RISC desktop computers were common-ish in UK schools by then.

         Of course if you count the 6502 as a RISC chip (if you squint a bit, Page Zero RAM sure does look like 256 8-bit registers to me!) then UK schools had RISC desktops for over a decade before then!
