There will be a tribute to and a potted history of TF Services. Another is John Mason's last Quanta Magazine editorial that members have not responded to Quanta's pleas for new committee members. (Should there now be better news, please let us know Quanta committee.) There are also one or two more minor stories that are a bit negative. What I am a little concerned about is that we could recreate some of the atmosphere in the first half of the 1990s when DJ Software closed down followed a year later by QL World. The screams that we heard then "The end of the QL is nigh" were more than a little premature. In fact there is still a lot happening on the QL scene and we need to publicise this. It's just that we need to be flexible in thinking of the future, just as we had to be flexible to survive the early 90s. > I am afraid I cannot lighten the scene.
