I have known about it for some weeks, and you can be certain that a lot of activity has gone on in the background to try to resolve the situation. One of the problems is that most QL traders find they often do not get replies to emails to D & D. This is not just over such things as SMSQ, but also emailings for QL shows. Some time ago D & D approached me about distributing some Just Words! programs with the Q60. I gave a fairly lengthy reply but never heard anything further. This I find unbusinesslike and discourteous. Let me add that I write this with the greatest of reluctance. I have known one half of D & D, Dennis Smith, for some years and have always valued his observations on my programs. The Q60 is the most exciting hardware development in recent years, and from what I have heard D & D are producing it to the highest standards. I wish them well. Surely an extra 10 Euros per machine is not much to ask? Geoff Wicks
