User meeting in Spain to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Sinclair QL

A little disappointed that the pic is not a Spanish QL keyboard.

That was on purpose. Spanish keyboard was introduced in 1985. So it's not 40 yet....

Great event yesterday to celebrate QL's 40th anniversary. And as in the good old times, a lot of BBQL's up and running, and some other pieces of hardware running QL software (Aurora's, QXL's, Ataris, Amigas and Q68's)

Great to see that a first party happened!

Well, indeed, it has only taken us 40 years to do this exclusive QL event in Spain, but we have always been present at Sinclair community events in Spain. This one, finally, is only from QL.

The report of the event in Spain is now available. Read it here:

We are preparing a photo gallery and several videos that we will share later.
