The Sinclair QL Forum

That's nice birthday present, thanks (what's that you say, you didn't do it just for me - I don't believe you! )

Is there an issue 1 folder anywhere, and if not is it needed to follow this along?

Nice! Thank you

A great find and well done on the restoration work to get it working.

Nice to see Miner Willy making a cameo appearance too

Surely one is not possible without the other?!

It's normal. It's difficult to love something you didn't tried, used, understood, had fun with. I've never driven a 1960's Ferrari or used a mechanical calculator machine, so I can't love it.... unless it's an abacus obviously ;) It's not so much that I expect them to get my fascination with retro ...

You have just gone down in my estimation...

It was my childhood, what can I say?

Ah, but you see, I love the Muppets too !

I was trying to explain this passion to my colleagues, all of whom are at least 10 years younger than me, some of whom were born around the time I started working in IT (NatWest Bank, coding in RPG/400 on an IBM AS/400 minicomputer, since you ask ;) ) They don't get it. The ones closest in age to me...

hah - I had not noticed that those were from the same seller. It did make me think that the price of QL stuff generally was going up a lot recently!

Hi Derek, my apologies - I clearly misread your post.
