Hi Peter, as you know I share most (if not all) of your thoughts about "real" hardware.
I think the speed-argument isn´t so important these days. It´s more about retro-fun and to have a special piece of hardware to play with. Emulation and virtual platforms are fine (I bought also QPCII and Q-Emulator) but you have always to deal with a host-OS (and all the needs and problems of this host-OS). I also think (or at least hope) that new real QL-hardware will motivate developers to write programs for it. Speed-wise I am fine with my Q40 (although I really would like to own one of these Q60s;-)) for my "QL-needs. and it still boots faster than any Windows-box with QPC or Q-Emulator (Sorry, Marcel, no offense;-)) What I try to say is: Go on with your projects, I really hope that we will see (and will be able to buy) a new QL-system soon!;-) All the best, Anton _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
