Marcel OK, I can understand that a lot of feeling has existed for a long time, but its affecting the users. It does not really matter( in a QL context) whom likes who. I like QPC and the work you do, I use it. I also had a Q40, I have Aurora and various configurations. It does not mean I exclude ant other hardware. Instead of 'most' important (not THE most) I should have said 'equally important'. It was not only the Grafs who were not at Eindhoven, the vast majority of QL users were not there. If you said we are having a meeting on the Moon, most of us would have more chance of getting there, it is just one flight after all. In the long term, if there are any users left, I will probably use QPC2, simply because it does the job, and it is on the machine I use all day, although the Q60 and GF have appeal. So I would like all options left open and developed. However, that does not get away from the problem. Perhaps, you should ALL be locked in a room together, without food or water till you reach an agreement, then after the white smoke appears, we will know we can get back to reality. One could live in the hope you might find you have a lot in common.
