No, the RISC PC was the successor to the Archimedes. As well as the ARM CPU it also had an (optional ?) Intel CPU so you could boot DOS / Windows.

later versions had the StrongArm processor, which was way too fast for the cludged 16MHz frontside bus

Ah just vaguely remember the archimedes was a RISC cpu although that was 1988 and I couldn’t be arsed with computers back then.
My dad worked for ICL and was forever trying to teach me Pascal and Cobol.

And the L. Logan one reminds me of a character from a Terry Gilliam film.

I guess today everyone has a camera and many might say they have a reasonably good eye. When I look at Jack Delano’s work in 42-43 for example, operating with fairly rudimentary kit by today’s standards, a chasm between a nice shot and a piece of art opens up.
