A quiet show, but some trading.
Da Silva/O Mara was there as well, causing the usual consternation (8-)#
He is off to Argentina, and sold his QL outfit so he joins the growing
emulator band (8-(#
A few old faces re-appeared, and the familiar groupies.
I gather Ian Malcolm has been seduced to Linux.....
Roy Brereton and Bill Newell represented Quanta.
Gerard Phelan, one of the most regular almost non-QLers, was there.
He was on holiday for QL2000.
Marcel came with Jochen, and he (Marcel) was _very_ keen on Ben's sweet
machine.
Ben's friend Tom got a free QL, and has joined at the age of 11, the QL
owner fraternity.
There was another totally new (older) user who bought a machine and a
lot else besides - an Italian working in Milton Keynes. Anyone get his
name?
Ben designed a new Lego machine - a sweet dispensing machine.
It reads a 'card' and dispenses an appropriate sweet ration.
I sold quite a few Compswitches. Why has no-one else in the UK thought
of this?
