I'm not sure if hack-job OSs are 'ahead of their time'. These were also the days of MS-DOS.

But it's certainly good to remember that not everything Acorn did was shiny and golden. They deserve to be remembered more than they often are, but they've had their fair share of misses too.

Oh yeah the entire 1990s was a shit show where they burned the entire company to the ground through incompetence.
