Out of interest, what machine do you use to run QBBS? Is it a PC, Q60,
QL/Qubide or what? And what was used when you first started it up?

I seem to remember that the auto-f1/f2 feature in Minerva (i.e. skip
having to press F1 or F2 to start the QL) was designed to allow BBSes
to restart automatically after a crash or power cut, is that right?
