Oberon – The Overlooked Jewel

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

I've always been a fan of Oberon - the language and the OS. The book referenced in that paper - Project Oberon is well worth a read and is available as a (legitimate) online pdf: http://www.ethoberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/ ... Oberon.pdf . Lots of other documents about Oberon there.

That seems cool in theory, but the emulator seems kind of useless. For example, pressing Backspace causes my browser to go to the previous page rather than send backspace to the emulator.
My OS is Perception.
