Do you want me to post them to you, or can it wait until the AGM next weekend? If you need any more, I think I have every issue of the newsletter, bar one or two I may have lost over the years. A few years ago I took advantage of the back issues service to fill the gap in the collection. Looking at issues 1 to 3 when I went to check just now, I realise that the first 2 or 3 issues of the newsletter must have been sent out BEFORE any QLs ever went out, unless Leon Heller had a pre-release QL to work from. Some of the early articles are general 68000, C and hardware articles laying the ground for the forthcoming QL. Nice way to spend a quarter of an hour on sunday morning - some QL nostalgia :-) -- Dilwyn Jones _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
