Re: Reviving Quanta

Some time ago, I applied for Quanta membership, as I also thought it would be a pity if Quanta was wound up after all that time.

First let me express that I was really delighted when I saw this very nice forum. Hopefully, it will become the place to go for the scattered QL community. The QL was my second computer after the Spectrum. I was (and still am) fascinated by the elegant design, and learned structured programming usin...
