Re: [ql-users] Quanta ISSN there
Dilwyn Jones wrote: as is Sinclair QL World (it's ISSN is still current publication status), BTW Arcwind still exist and are publishing other mags from their old address. Windsurfing magazines by any chance? Yes ISSN numbers are free and available from the British Library, the are given to magazines and are what the bar codes are produced from. I can't remember how Jochen got the ISSN number originally. I think Bruce had an input somewhere, perhaps that was from his QReview mag days, the ISSN number 1351-1343 comes to mind from somewhere and i know it's not Toady! 1351-1343=QReview Is Quanta's non ISSN number status linked to the fact that it is only sold to members, even though it has been in print for over 20 years? BTW I am right in thinking there are no QL disczines at the moment? Well, QL Hackers Journal and Q40/Linux Journal from Tim Swenson make an occasional appearance, though the last was some time ago.

Re: [ql-users] Re: QL2005
Just to put another issue into the mix here, John Mason called me last week and asked if I would organise the 2005 Hove show so it could be the AGM. I have looked into dates for this that would fit Quanta's schedule and I am preparing to book the hall for 17th April. This may have some bearing on the likely date for QL 2005 so I thought I should let you all know now. I would also welcome input from any traders would have a problem with that date. I realise it is hard to firmly predict where one will be at a set date in the future because, in spite of my agreeing the Byfleet date some time ago, I find that I have to be in Chepstow on that day doing a diving exam. I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for my absence. This is the first Byfleet show I have missed in the 10 years of QBranch's existence. If Quanta cannot organise the QL2005 why don't we do it ourselves and charge a small admission fee? -- Roy Wood Q Branch. 20 Locks Hill, Portslade, Sussex.BN41 2LB Tel: +44 (0) 1273 386030fax: +44 (0) 1273 430501 web : www.qbranch.demon.co.uk ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.quanta.org.uk/mailing.htm

Re: [ql-users] raw2scr
Many years ago on my way to Spain (my first time 1988) I remember calling in on Tony to pick up a Spanish eprom for the QL. I was surprised that as soon as I crossed over the border that a rusty Italian came to the surface having lain unused for 30 years. So similar, but so different.
