I use my 'QL' as an all-rounder - apart from Internet, scanning, CD-burning,
networking and DTP. Database, accounting, letter writing, programming
(S*Basic, assembler, php) and general mucking about are all done on
my QLs. The PC also acts as a general 'server' for the QL side of things,
such as backups and getting documents and data into my system. Ideally Id
like to network between QLs (this is a real pain at present) and possibly
between QLs and other systems (anyone tried Samba on the Q60 yet? ;) My main
QL currently is QPC (for practical reasons) but I also have Q60, uQLx,
QLX2, Aurora, QVME (QL hardware 'emulator' for Atari) Futura (ditto) and
plain
liquorice QL systems. Im presently playing with setting up a network between
a W2k PC, Linux PC and Q60 Linux, however time's short and the going is
tough..

Apart from networking, my needs are mainly software related; better
programming tools, better file system >sigh< better window manager, and of
course, better documentation >sigh< A larger pond of QL users would also be
nice..
