¡Merry Christmas to all!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Happy Christmas!!

One of my presents was a gaming keyboard and on the back it boasted that it had 32k of memory. Our QL's can still hold a candle to some!

Merry QL Christmas

I still remember getting Metacomco Assembler for a Christmas present - I had bought the QL for myself earlier that year!!

Some years later I also got a PC tower case kit for mounting my QL for Christmas.

What QL related items did everyone else get for Christmas

I didn't get any QL stuff but got two speccy books

For Christmas 1983 my sister and I got our first ever computer, a 48k rubber key Sinclair ZX Spectrum
After that for birthdays and the following four or five Christmases, I got various games . One year (forget if birthday or Christmas, but I think birthday 1984) I got a Ferguson TX 14" TV, the computer compatible model that had both composite video and RGB inputs on two DIN sockets on the back . I kept that going for many years (various dry solder joints repaired, a couple of capacitors renewed, gave up on the mechanical tuner buttons and connected it to a Panasonic Freeview "set top box") until I replaced it with a Panasonic 32" wide-screen CRT (which I still have and which still works, now a bedroom TV).

By the 1990's I had bought myself an Atari STFM (this was in my first year of college), so focus changed to that machine. But I forget if that included any software as presents.

It was not until much later that I decided it was time to see what the QL was like in real life by buying a second hand one. That came via ebay and had a SchÖn keyboard. More story here.
