I've just posted a new paper called "The Sinclair QL in North America" on my website. It has details on the launch of the QL here in the US, the QL & T/S community, the QL shows, the vendors and even QL software written on this side of the pond.

Nice to see a mention of QBOX
. I remember getting a few callers from the USA on my BBS (which I sadly had to move to a PC in early 1990 to deal with the amount of FidoNet traffic it carried). I've even had the PC and QL BBS running in parallel for about a year on separate lines; the main reason because my USRobotics HST modem did not support the V.23 (1200/75) standard which most European QL users used!

I was part of NESQLUG (and editor for a few years). We had a few QL shows in Boston in the early 90's, bringing the Miracle Systems crew out. I think one year they flew into Logan and rode their folding bikes to the show.
I bought my QL from Sharps in Mechanicsfille, Virginia. I got a bunch of stuff from them over the early 90s.

A good read! As always with Tim's releases. I shall provide Tim with some clarifications and additions.
Watch out for a release which I drop in a minute. It has a relation to the QL in NA.
