On today's date 29 years ago Sinclair Research launched the Sinclair QL
professional computer. On January 12th 1984 - exactly 12 days earlier than
Steve Jobs launched the Apple Macintosh - Sir Clive Sinclair and Nigel
Searle presented the QL to the world in a Hollywood-style launch event at
the Hotel Inter Continental in London.
As I remember, after that, QL was not available for a long time...
Do you know - just for fun - when the first QLs were puchased to "normal
people" and when the first Apple Macintosh were ?
I remember also, the price of a QL was about 16.900 österreichische
Schillings at the begin...
I bought my first QL about 10 month later for 9.000 ÖS, one month later
a frend of mine and I bought 3 more QLs (at 5.000 ÖS each - 2 where for
me) as I was a fan of the network capabilities of QLs :)
As I made a questionary for the QL-Frends of Vienna about 1 year later,
there where about 100% having more than 1 QL :))
