The QL community is a good deal more conservative that we probably would
like to think,
Strange one this - conservative in some respects yet not in others. We do
have to bear in mind that as a community we are using a base computer
which is not far from 3 decades old, yet we insist on still using it. It's
probably a bit inevitable that some of those who choose to use an older
computer will probably not go for all the latest technology bells and
whistles and remain a bit conservative in their outlook, while the rest
will take up the latest thing. For example, I was a bit surprised that QL
Forum took off in the way it did.
Having entered my fifth score I find myself becoming increasingly Luddite,
Click's reviews of what's new and on the way don't appeal in the slightest.
3D TV, surfing the web on a mobile phone, Wii , why is that WEE instead of
wee aye, (radii or tumlii)or is that too Geordie ?
My first email a/c was hosted by an internet cafe, I had no phone on my
boat. But with my data on a floppy I could cycle into town and surf, cost a
little then tho' now most libraries have it free. So I don't understand the
problem of electronic delivery, and as the readershi[ dwindles the printing
charges rise. So much physical work involved with the paper mag'.
