Re: Merry Christmas!

Feeling a bit embarrassed that I haven't contributed anything since my introductory post in Sept last year: -

I keep watching the forum regularly.

Happy Christmas fellow QL'ers!

Re: Today 30 years ago...

Happy belated birthday QL - you're 30 apparently.

Wish I was 30. I'm 46 now.

I started to fancy you when I was 16. You were top totty for just a little while back then.

Re: A seat in the lifeboat

Im new to the QL, but I would say that an SD card based mass storage (external or internal) is the one thing that the QL needs most of all. Microdrives are unreliable, disk drives are defunct technology, but solid state card storage would make the QL have a new lease of life. I wish I had the skill...

Re: Hello - New QL owner in need of some advice

OK here are some pics... I wanted to embed these in the post but it seems to be enforcing some format on them which chops them in half?? http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t212/2bit_bucket/P1020581_s_zpsca1e7d3a.jpg Minty fresh... http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t212/2bit_bucket/P1020583_s_zps93f...

Re: Hello - New QL owner in need of some advice

Rite-o... another QL has just taken up residency in my humble retirement home for 80s computers. Looks in superb condition but obviously has been out of the box and used a few times at least. Came with all the usual software plus QL-Meteor Storm and Sellasoft Tank Busters. Tank Busters is a real bla...

Re: Hello - New QL owner in need of some advice

I see you must be the one who recently bought that QL from another one of my customers - he is unfortunately having to sell up his collection - some nice pieces in it too! Actually, I think that this QL may well have come from me in the first place :D A CUB has to...

Re: Hello - New QL owner in need of some advice

Thank you for the reply Dilwyn, I'll scan and photograph the contents of the box and then get on with using it. If I don't do that then I can't contribute here and that seems pointless. I'm keen to find the black CUB monitor that was shown in the original gate-fold pamphlet for the QL. Black version...
