100% agreement from me Phoebus.  If people want the QL/QDOS/SMS industry, albeit that 
it is small, to survive then there is no point in these protracted discussions about 
which is right or wrong.  We must ALL learn to accept that different people have 
different opinions.  I'm, largely, still using original hardware 3 QLs, plus a QXL in 
an old 486.  Is the QXL a bad thing because it's not "pure" hardware?  Of course not - 
many people on this list have used, or are using one, I'm sure.  The rancour expressed 
ON BOTH SIDES of the QPC/Q40/Q60 debate is not only damaging to the reputations of 
those involved, but is off-putting to anyone who might be interested in joining our 
somewhat specialist group of hardware- and software-interested people.

I think that it's time to put away the knives and recognize that QDOS/SMS/whatever 
will die out unless we all pull together.

Regards,
Peter
