The "My QL" idea came about as a QL version of "My Computer" in Windoze 9x
etc, and will show all your various devices. IT will also have several log
ins for different users, so the desktop will be different for each person
using it. As Dilwyn says, its no QDT and doesn't aim to be, but its a quick
alternative. I like it so far and I think a few people that saw it in
Manchester did too. I'm quite excited about it....
