To Geoff Wicks, thanks for the concern, but you tell me, what can Quanta do for me? - I live in a QL World black hole! The monthly mag was like a lifeline but now I rely on QLToday because it is a vabrant, upbeat and altogether more informative tome - and it gives breaking news on all things QLish. QUANTA mag has become a shrivelled prune of its former self, and as I have already said, the news is already old. So Geoff, what can Quanta do for outlanders such as me?

Dont walk away : Quanta is sitting on a stack of cash that should be used for the benefit of Quanta members and QL users in general, I guess that most who are left on the scene must have been members at one time. Geoff Wicks is right to try to identify a way of spending some of that cash to help the scene along at the moment.

This could lose as many members as it gains. I suspect a fair proportion of the current paying membership members through inertia. A pound or so a month is not much to pay for a bit of nostalgia when (and if!) the Quanta newsletter arrives, although we are not active users any longer. Most don't even bother to lurk here. A change in the sub would only draw attention to the direct debit.... I don't think there is a crowd out there who refrain from joining for the sake of a penny a day!
I am happy to continue to contribute a little financially. I even had a flush of enthusiasm when Jimmy Montesinos updated Qlay, and I wrote an piece for Quanta. Frankly, however, I am not even prepared to pay the cost of an emulator to further my interest. I agree that my investment in Quanta over the years should be spent to further the cause, before it's too late and the Red Cross get it.

Stephen
Just as a passing thought, does anyone have any idea as to how many of you
guys who contribute to this list are current members of Quanta?
Regards,
John Gilpin. With my Membership Secretary's hat on.
