Re: [ql-users] Today 20 years ago...
My QL was 20 in November 84. I don't remember the exact date, but I still have the invoice somewhere in the handbook. It was version JM imported to France by a non official reseller. It still works well. Including the microdrives. Arnould On Wed, 25 Jan 2006 09:37:17 + (GMT), Stephen Usher wrote Well, actually, it was 20 years ago tomorrow, but why wait..

It allowed me to learn how to program in assembler, helped me with MSc project (the MSc course used a 68000 board for the robotics stuff and I used the QL as a development platform, writing a subset of the QDOS system calls for the 68000 board to ease the development) and was a lovely machine to program. I see that another subscriber to this list is Robert Newson. Do you still use my old terminal emulator program? Would if the QL worked...handy for testing Bullet ^_^ It still works, though it's up in my loft at the moment along with the Trump Card and the twin 3.5 DD drives. Mine's still sitting on my desk; however it isn't working at the moment (I suspect a ULA) :-( Ah, the memories. So much stuff on my 3.2M ED disks I want to get at (eg my year planner program, and my diary program - prints a weekly twin page diary starting on any day with 4 days on the left page and 3 on the right to a given size, complete with printing on both sides of the paper ready for cutting and binding...)...must get the QL fixed when I get a chance. -- --- Robert Newson, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hi Geoff, This raises the point that I raised in my last personal statement. Two members of the present committee are retiring and unless Quanta gets new blood on the committee - and there are only 10 nomination days left - then it could be too small to be viable. Seems to be the most important point to me, isn't it? I think, QUANTA is too much overloaded with jobs and election jobs. I am not sure what you mean by election jobs. When you handle almost £5,000 of members' money per year, you have to have official things like elections, reports and auditors. Otherwise you have hit the nail on the head. Quanta has to get down to determining its core tasks and stop indulging in fantasy schemes for which it has neither the skills nor the resources to implement. When I read the chairman's report last year, I was shocked by the number of things he promised that Quanta couldn't deliver and hasn't delivered. To be quite honest I was relieved not to be elected chairman, and when I congratulated the winner I had the hypocritical politician's smile on my face, but underneath I was smugly thinking You silly bugger - now you've got to implement your promises. I have not enjoyed sitting on the committee and hearing all the wild ideas about a revamped website, with passwords and restricted areas and ideas for a chat room for Quanta members only, knowing the committee were unable to do a simple thing like keeping the site up to date, Best Wishes, Geoff (privately) ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Tony Like most websites, when it comes to Quanta I guess we are looking more for content and regular updating than technical brilliance. Which is where so many 'professional' sites go wrong, at least hobbyists can cite lack of time. It could be said that technical brilliance is the last thing a QL site needs anyway - we go on the QL sites to get at the content and information, not to wait minutes for some flashy animation to download. At least you can quickly get onto Tony Firshman's site and hear him speak in no time at all! I can sort of read many QL-related sites via the mono screen on my mobile phone (OK, I was a bit bored at the time!). If we are to use something like Lynx to browse on a QL system sites need to be kept to fairly simple html anyway. In my own case, I gave up on my site's 'news' page because I couldn't find time to keep it up to date. It's hard enough ensuring that something like my 'QL Shows' page gets kept reasonably up to date! -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
