Dave, >> As I thought, only George and I read my articles on QL Assembly >> Language! ;-( > You read your own articles? Isn't that like laughing at your own jokes? :P But of course. Don't you know that's one way to double my readers! Plus, I get to find all sorts of mistakes that I didn't see when I proof read it! :-(

I read plenty of magazines as part of my work life - Linux and Oracle for example - I also use the internet, but much prefer to read paper based magazines. Especially in the bath! > They > can't get by just by providing "news" any more. Quanta does have the > advantage of being a club and having many other services. QL Today isn't just a news magazine. There are many interesting articles, sometimes even about off topic subjects that may "just" be relevant, albeit remotely, to QL users. > I'd start by putting every past issue of their magazines on their respective > websites in a password protected area, and publish the password in the > current magazine. Someone scanned in one issue recently - check the list archives - and it came to around 50MB for a text searchable pdf. That was during a long run of emails on "why can't we get a pdf copy of QL Today?" - which has been covered here, in the magazine and I suspect, there's more to come in the next issue! > Also, how about an annual "award ceremony" for best new h/w, software, > utility, lifetime achievement awards - so we can all pat ourselves on the > back? *grins* Heck, I might even go to England for that. We can't do that without a snappy name, like the Oscars for example. Suggestions?
