Hello from Upstate New York

Post by mystikshadows »

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. :)

Welcome to QL Forum MystikShadows from another newbie.

Weather here yesterday in the Deep South (US): sun trying to come out during the precipitation. Precipitation on the Ides of April was ... rum droll ... snow. (Snow ... sun ... rain ... all three ...).

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!
