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
Thinking about the simplicity of the QL, I warched a virus check on my laptop.
It was checking the registry, and clocked up 1.5 million entries! No wonder it
gets the odd one wrong sometimes.
