Hi,
QDT was potentially a great advance for the QL, pity there was no further
development.

Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] [ql-users] North American QL Show Saturday September
30th 2006
Do you remember todays date 10 years ago? It's been a while...
Yes! In fall 2006 a North American QL show did happen in Niagara Falls,
Ontario, Canada.
Here's my journey report which I wrote on October 1st 2006:
Once I had collected enough bonus miles to take an intercontinental flight
from Zürich via Frankfurt to Toronto I finally decided to join this show. I
was so busy at work that the final decision to attend was made the weekend
before the show. My wife said: Do something good to you. If QL tinkering
makes your mind happy, go for it. Even the flights were booked on bonus
miles for more than a month already, the car and hotel stays were booked
just days before the journey. I arrived on Thursday September 28th in
Toronto. The next day I drove to Niagara Falls where we all met at 6 p.m.
for the traditional QL group dinner. We went to a Korean restaurant just
across the street of the hotel. For me this was my first and only Korean
food experience. On Saturday September 30th the QL show was held at the
meeting room of the Super8 Hotel. Eleven QLers (not counting their wives and
other family members) were attending. Jim showed the new QDT FileManager and
an intensive discussion regarding suggested additions to it happened. Tony
was busy all day to fix QLs of the North American users. I had some good
chats with Colin and Herb on Memory Management. Herb and myself continued to
swap experiences and files for over an hour after the show had already
ended. It is definitely not enough to have a QL show every second year (not
only to fix the many broken systems). On Sunday those who stayed went
downtown and to the Falls. Those who stay in the Toronto area will meet for
a dinner on Tuesday night.
Pictures of the show can be seen in the QL PICTURE GALLERY (QLPG) either

QL forever!
