Dont walk away : Quanta is sitting on a stack of cash that should be used for the benefit of Quanta members and QL users in general, I guess that most who are left on the scene must have been members at one time. Geoff Wicks is right to try to identify a way of spending some of that cash to help the scene along at the moment.
