Hi Sjef, thanks a lot, and good to hear from you :-) Any chance for QL shows in Eindhoven next year? You know, it's not only us who miss them ... I've had several people writing to me who miss it!

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show
Will you require a copy of version 1 (for traditional QDOS systems) or version 2 (for Window Manager 2 systems)? Version 1 works with most older systems with expanded memory (about 512K RAM minimum). If everything goes well, I will own a GoldCard soon. So maybe I should go for version2? Some points for you to consider: 1) All versions of Launchpad need Pointer Environment. 2) To use Launchpad version 2 on a QL with Gold Card you will need Pointer Environment version 2 or later. Further details and downloads at http://www.dilwyn.me.uk/pe/index.html (what this means is that Pointer Environment version 2 has Window Manager version 2 included. It still only gives the usual mode 4 and mode 8 on a Gold Card, but at least it allows programs designed for WMAN2 to be run on a QDOS system). Mote the small warning about version 2.02 on the page - I never got it to work reliably on my system, so I use v2.01 on my QDOS systems. If your QL has ROM version JS, MG or later, or a Minerva ROM, you can also use version 2.03 of pointer environment. This is all a little confusing when you haven't used QLs for a while, so good luck with it! If you are unsure I can bring both versions of Launchpad with me to Lucerne.

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show
Hi, I am glad to say, that I will be on the QL-Mac Lucerne show, too. Just one day (31. Oct.), but better than nothing;-) Urs asked me to do a little presentation about the latest AmigaOS (AmigaOS4.1), so I will travel with an Next-Gen Amiga and the latest version of AmigaOS4.1 to the show. I hope it´s interesting for the Mac- and QL-fans to learn something about another 68k-computer from the eighties (till today). Also I will bring some Amiga Future-magazines for free (the chief- editor of Amiga Future forced me to do this, because of my article about the Sinclair QL in the next issue;-)) See you there! BTW: It´s my first QL-show ever. Kind Regards and greetings from Vienna, Anton ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show
Hi all On the fly update: Villa Maria is one I can recommend. It's 2 Stars (only) but cosy and close to the event Location. CHF 80 per Person/Night inclusive breakfast is where you should start. Depending on how many nights and how many persons in the room it will be a little cheaper. Use the lucerne Tourismus Link in the Event webpage to make sure you get correct county ;-) and rates. The only problem is that they only have 10 rooms in total (it's a small but nice place). Walking distance? About 800 Meters only. I'm on the way now to meet the Dents. I've been off-list and off-email the last few days. Last Monday evening I met Markus Dettwiler, Jon and Lisbeth Dent at the Dents home. We discussed the QL-Mac-Show. On Tuesday and today I had a telephone conversation with Mrs. Winkler of Villa Maria (the one in Lucerne, Pension Villa Maria, Haldenstrasse 36). She told me that: - she has no bookings from QLers so far. - she can make a special rate if several QLers book their rooms there and book directly at the hotel. Enquiries and direct bookings to Mrs. Winkler, email account villama...@bluewin.ch (bluewin is no 1. ISP in Switzerland), just tell her the reference Koenig. Right now they still have 8 two/three bed rooms free for the show weekend. - BTW: Villa Maria will close for this Year Monday Nov 2nd (end season for them), so QLers wanting to stay longer than the show weekend should take a look for other Hotels (Dylwin and Ann went for Hotel Bellevue, Seeburgstrasse 79 www.bellevue-luzern.ch) Anyone considering attending the show, even not fully decided by now, should please inform us using the pre-registration link on the webpage (http://tinyurl.com/ql-mac-show) or email us. It's somehow difficult to plan (eg. dinner site) if we do not know approximate head count. Looking forward to see many QL/Mac enthusiasts in Lucerne.

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show
Hi everbody, I can report that I also booked the weekend in Luzern. However, I don't think I will be there as a trader. I'd like to take the other view this time, and be a visitor. Can't carry many goods to Switzerland (non-EU) anyway. If anybody would like me to bring something, I will do so. I may also bring the latest selection of QL Today magazines (including the forthcoming one with Tony Tebby's brandnew article). I expect to be there Saturday late afternoon/evening for the dinner, and the major part of Sunday. Once again - if you need something, please mail me in advance and I will try to bring it! Hope to see many of you there's - I haven't managed to come to the UK, unfortunately, this year, but I look forward to seeing many of you in Switzerland! Oh, and by the way ... the next issue of QL Today will be going to the printer next week as scheduled and be shipped at around the 21st... probably ALL together from Austria, as this could be cheaper (and definitely faster) than sending part of it to the UK and carry on from there. If you have not renewed/subscribed yet, please do so within the next week.

Hohoho, I think it is a little more complicated as english and german prononciation are not the same: If you mean haha in german and write it so, an english guy will read hehe As I know Tony I think when he writes hehe, we german people would hear hihi but if you write hihi, in english it will sound like heyhey: not really laughing...

Re: [Ql-Users] ql-mac Lucerne show
Pn the fly update: Villa Maria is one I can recommend. It's 2 Stars (only) but cosy and close to the event Location. CHF 80 per Person/ Night inclusive breakfast is where you should start. Depending on how man Nights and how many persons in the room it will be a little cheaper. Use the lucerne Tourismus Link in the Event webpage to make sure you get correct County ;-) and Rates. The only Problem is that they only have 10 rooms in total (it's a small but nice Place).

Mind you E10 per person for diner is good value - for Friday only of course! No no, it's not 100 EUR per room but 100 EUR per person. Without diner it comes to 80 EUR per person. A bit expensive for my taste. Is there anything cheaper around? That cannot be right. Do a booking search from http://hotels.luzern.com for a triple room, and you get CHF160 per night for the *room* including breakfast. Going through to the booking, including city tax for two days that comes to a total of CHF330.50 for three people and breakfast. See http://tfs.firshman.co.uk/temp/villamaria01.png . That looks OK to me. Do you want to join in a three bed room? The prices on the hotel site are *double* the Tourist Board - amazing. That is only E36 per person each night including breakfast. That has got to be OK surely, even CHEAP!

I can explain that. www.villamaria.ch is AGAIN the wrong site. It's the site for Hotel Restaurant Villa Maria in Vulpera, where the night actually costs 100 EUR per person per night. Your reservation is for Pension Villa Maria in Luzern, which is much less exclusive and more reasonable ;) Whoops! It is hard having so many Pension Villa Maria's and in German (8-)# That looks OK to me. Do you want to join in a three bed room? Perhaps, I'll check with Jochen what he's up to. Excellent. It is still pretty good for a two bed room, but if you join us it will save us all money. I hope you can.

CHF 80 per Person/Night inclusive breakfast is where you should start. Depending on how man Nights and how many persons in the room it will be a little cheaper. Use the lucerne Tourismus Link in the Event webpage to make sure you get correct County ;-) and Rates. The only Problem is that they only have 10 rooms in total (it's a small but nice Place). Walking distance? A three bed room is a *lot* less - CHF55 (E36) per person per night including breakfast - very good value.

About 800 Meters only. I'm on the way now to meet the Dents.

Your reservation is for Pension Villa Maria in Luzern, which is much less exclusive and more reasonable ;) Yes, full address is: Pension Villa Maria, Haldenstrasse 36, CH-6006 Luzern (Lucerne) which Ann has booked via the tourist board in Lucerne while I was out this afternoon. www.luzern.com will at least give you some idea of the facilities, and looking at the map will show how close it is (looks like a few minutes walk). Our requirements are of course slightly different as we are combining a holiday with this visit. -- Dilwyn Jones ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
