Re: [ql-users] Spare GC or SGC?

Hi Per I think you miss the point sometimes. You said The QL was never only about hardware for quite a number of enthusiasts, and therefore it is still going strong in its emulated form. If you want the best QL platform money can buy, get QPC2 and stick it in your PC. For quite a
