Then I remarried and my beloved second wife decided to purge some of my past life junk. This included some of the less useful calculaters, some broke, some given away, some got flat batteries (including unfortunately the great little Casio with clever calculator games on it) etc etc. A lot of my old QL stuff went that way too (i.e. wife'd, not flushed down a toilet), including the spare QL with the dodgy microdrives and a lot of old QL add-ons. It was also one of the reasons why I went the path of QPC+PC simply to save space in the house. I still have a Minis-QL Aurora and a QL+Gold Card although only the QPC/PC is in regular use now. -- Dilwyn Jones
