Re: Rich is in the news!

In particular I admired Rich's jump from ZX81 straight to QL (ZX83) :D But mainly I just wanted to tune in to praise his professionalism - whenever I needed something he would always be there - software, hardware, or a piece of friendly advice.

Re: Metacomco Pascal Manual
Hi Derek, I have a copy that I can lend you (send you via post) or make a scan. My predecessor punched holes in it to make it fit for a binder, but the text is largely unaffected. Would be glad to help. Cheers Hi, Your manual sounds what I would like to scan, can you send it without the binder? I h...
