[ql-users] US QL Show Oct 8-9 2005 canceled
As many of you know Al Boehm suffered a serious stroke this summer. He was the organizer of the US QL show. He is slowly recovering but still is partially paralyzed on his left side. I spoke with him by phone two days ago and he appointed me to decide what to do. The original Motel picked as the show site has changed hands and can not be located by its original name. I am not aware of anyone coming to this show at present. If anyone is please contact me. I am canceling the show as originally set up although we may have a small meeting in the Boston area at Al's daughters house on Oct 9th although that has not been decided for sure. We may schedule another show for the spring of 2006 in the Boston area. Bill Cable ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

If you can get several other pledges then your risk will be reduced enough so you might give it a try. It will be a lot of work to bundle the software with a good interface but I bet there is enough of a market to consume 100 units over time. There could be a linux version too. Great Christmas presents to those wayward QLers we all know. Of course once a buyer has one he could easily make copies for the price of the stick but a logo on yours would make them special. -- Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Site near Fitchburg Econolodge. Exact site and times to be announced soon. In the meantime, attendees can make reservations and room selection at www.econolodge.com at $49.90/night. Fitchburg is the prettiest place on earth in the fall due to the change of fall leaf colors. It is something everyone should see at east once in their lifetime. Fitchberg is at the east end of route 2 and is one of the prettiest scenic drives in America. It runs through the Massachusetts Berkshires with breathtaking views. Al Boehm had a successful caratid artery surgery. He is on the road to recovery for some left side paralysis. He is now able to eat food again and is regaining strength every day. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
[ql-users] Al Boehm had a stroke
Just wanted everybody to know that Al Boehm had a stroke while he was visiting his daughter in California. I think he had a slight stroke first and then must have had surgery which had complications. I will pass on any more news as I get it. -- Bill I am Al Boehm's daughter, Lois. I am responding to my Dad's e-mail's as he unfortunately suffered a major stroke while in surgery this last week. He has had a variety of complications and is still in ICU. He lost use of the left side of his body but still has his verbal skills and even started to joke with us a bit last night. He even remebered his e-mail password which allowed me to get into his account. Please keep him in your prayers. I will keep you updated on any major changes. ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
Re: [ql-users] QWord payment
I was at an Ohio swapmeet in July and there were 400 traders, most with classic bikes. There were 1000 traders. You could not possibly walk it all in a day. The organizers are so happy they have doubled the fee to be a trader. See www.vintagefocus.com to learn something about vintage motorcycle and otherwise events in the US. There is a big yearly vintage show in Germany and Italy (must be one in the UK). I would like to attend them some year. Hopefully there will be a nearby QL show for me to attend at the same time.

Re: [ql-users] Gardens
Mind you Bill Cable has spare -cars- No he doesn't... they just grow in his land :-P (And they are all in New England Fall colours as well (red, green, rust-yellowish etc... :-) Sorry to say I have had to pass a few on to other tinkerers. Better to recycle as much as possible I say. Not all Americans drive big new SUVs or even think that makes any sense. But I still have a pretty good collection of VW Rabbit diesels. And they do blend in quite nicely with the fall colors and when snow comes you don't even know they are there. But contrary to rumors they do not multiply when left to their own devices in the woods. And yes Tony and Phoebus the black Saab is still going strong although I have not be able to duplicate the speed Phoebus coaxed out of it on I95. -- Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

To prove you wrong I'll bring some to Eindhoven in October (QL2004) François Van Emelen I suggest a blind taste test like we once did with home brew beer or they do with wine. Even in the US with lots of micro breweries we now have a choice of quality beer. Wish I could be there to enter a few and taste a few. Use small amounts for testing. From my experience after a few pints (or liters) discriminating ability goes out the window. And of course the QL can be used to record results and create a nice graph. -- Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm

Dave I will do the same: 100 pounds plus 25 pounds a month towards living expenses for up to a year as I am not clear as to the project definition but certainly willing to help fund Nasta's effort. I imagine Dave can help in getting the USD to pounds most effectively for people in the US wanting to help. -- Bill ___ QL-Users Mailing List

AmericanEnglish 1,000,000 million million 1,000,000,000 billion milliard 1,000,000,000,000 trillionbillion Now I feel better the US budget deficit this year is only .5 billion USD. Nothing to get excited about. Only 83 USD for every person on the planet. I think Archive can handle the English billion but SuperBasic can not. That is one reason it is good for accounting programs.
