[Oberon] Re (2): suggestions for documentation.

[eas lab]

pdf & other fairy-formats are a curse.
I was reluctant to fetch Wirth's recent <PO*>.pdf, but it's brilliant, and
luckily I didn't miss it.
I've discovered a novel 'format', which is very valuable for my present
conditions, but I'd never try to force it on others, like narcotics, as pdf
and Wintel does: I filter html & pdf and TextToSpeech them and listen to
them, lying down. In 1975, Alvin Toffler explained that the 2nd-wave
society, of syncronized, regimented schools, factories ...etc. are being
replaced by the-3rd-wave: flexi-time.
>From my repeated 'listenings' I've appreciated how Wirth has grasped
the vital human interface aspects, which no one else here ever mentions:
the bandwidth of vision; the eye-hand coordination, the subjective
impression of the user ...

Despite using ETHOberon since the 90's 300 days a year, I'd never
previously realised that each Frame/view is a task <a live object>.
Never before having had the BIG picture spelled out, I've missed a lot.

When will we have ETHO running on ARM, eg.  rPi?
