One technique is to get an 0870 (national number) at 7p a minutes and
1p or 2p of the call charge is given to you, this is like the system
that free ISPs use and if I had the money for a second line for a QL ISP

That was my point Marcel, Jochen and I choose to sell it. They know the

buying why not
So whats wrong with the demo version of QPC2? You can check out most of the
new facilities and run most new programs. Enough to satisfy curiosity, I
should think.
No, not really, not without being able to save config files etc.
A reminder here that there are programs like my own Launchpad

set up for these in QPC2. Not all emulators can access QXL.WIN in a

idea?? Imagine... I already have a 64Mb one with a QXL.WIN on it -
loads of QL stuff will fit on it.
