the only place on earth where you look outside it snowing, you look outside again it's sunny, 5 minutes later it's raining. But it's our weather that's bipolar, not the people LOL.

I had a ZX81 computer when I was a teen, I'm afraid it was the only contact I had with any members of the Sinclair family of computers. I was lucky enough to get myself a 16K RAM expander with that I could do wonders on the ZX81. :)

I saw a video about a month ago that re-sparkled an old flame. So I look and found out, a month ago, that I found out there was such a thing as the QL. Quite a capable machine and a basic that takes advantage of it like SuperBASIC does. I wish I'd have known about it much longer than this last month. I decided to go with what I had around, commodore computers way back when. because no spectrum ever made it to where I was, lost in northern ontario back then.

Anyway, I saw the QL forum, I joined the forum, I asked my question and was given the best answer ever so I noticed it was still active. :) I'm a long time programmer, before programming was cool :) way back in 1975, I was 7 back then when at the library, this book caught my eye, and I noticed I could so easily understand what was written, it became clear I had to be a programmer. :)

You have clearly never lived in the UK if you think that's bizarre weather... :D

Welcome to the QL scene. It's a great little computer, and was a real revelation back when it was released (mostly for good reasons, heh! ).

I'm from Texas. Sometimes, I look outside and it's sunny, then I look outside again and it's still sunny!

Sometimes, our weather doesn't change for MONTHS!
