Hello Paul,
Well, I've only recently returned to the world of QL too (via the Q40),
having had a QL years ago but when it broke it got stuck up in the loft
instead of fixed.
I was going to suggest a subscription to QL Today, but I see Norman got
in first!
So have you checked out what's in your 'box of bits and bobs'? There
might be some interesting software and hardware add-ons in there that
people remember or still use - that could get a discussion thread going.
well, time for a brew (tea, alas, not the yeast, hops & malt variety :)
bye,
Ian.
