My real heart's desire is, ironically, a hardware/software

put together a package of an ARM-based embedded computer with Linux,
booting right into uQLx, so that it is basically a QL. Getting it so
it can fit inside a QL case with PSU and a couple of laptop SATA HDs
or compact flash cards
Far too costly - it will cost you and 'ARM' and a leg. ;-)
(Sorry, couldn't resist!)
Ah that reminds me of a group of people standing around a QLer in
Eindhoven showing off his digital camera, in the very early days of
these. I said "That must have cost you an arm and a leg" - innocently
I assure you.
He had physical problems and very little use of his arms and hands.
Fortunately he spoke little English and did not understand, but he
must have thought I made a good joke, from the laughter around (8-)#

Actually he was missing a hand and part of the arm.
I hoped Roy would see this - he was one of the merciless laughers (of
course) (8-)#
