Crikey, it's amazing the QL ever worked at all! Mine did though (but I never
tried the network and only used a serial port for the bundled thermal
printer I got with it from Dixons). It had JM ROMs and, if I remember
correctly because I no longer have it, was a build D13 (though someone will
probably tell me D13s didn't ship with JM ROMs :o) so I guess I missed out
on the more important fixes - not that I noticed. I can't wait for the next
episode in the saga. I wonder if the BBC4 TV programme this Thursday about
Sir Clive and Chris Curry will mention the QL...
P.S. The 'new look' magazine is fine; even if a bit thinner it has not lost
any of its quality. The font is still pretty large compared with some
magazines. I wonder if other European post offices have started charging by
size as well as weight like Royal Mail. If so, a thicker A5 format might
work out cheaper to post than A4 for the same weight.
Ian.

I just have received Vol14 Issue 1 of QL-Today. Oh dear, I have eaten the
11 pages of Tony's first article in a rush...just to find out that I want
more.
Thank's a lot, Tony, for clarifying a lot of QL-myths from the past and to
give us a bit of history repeating. There was so much secretiveness about
a lot of things with the QL. I am glad you light the fog a bit.
And....especially now, as I have tried to get in touch with a few old
hard- and software people round the QL-scene, just to find out, that a lot
have very few memories about the things they have done....it is
interesting to read that all. Still someone, who reminds about things
happening 25 years ago.
Cheers...Ralf
