Geoff The words were not intended for the committee or you: but to summarise so far the debate you have sparked has produced the following suggestions to benefit Quanta members - apologies to anyone who's contribution I have forgotten and not listed, happy to add it:
1 Reducing the subscription by £4 or so 2 Send floppies with selected library programs with newsletter 3 Create a profession shop window site for Quanta members where software can be downloaded, and www interest generated 4 Help QL users access the www through already existing software 5 Commission articles for the newsletter to make it worth reading 6 Chase up copyright holders for non supported but still widely used QL programs - append your own list 7 Nag/bribe/arm twist/pay/flatter some of the previously heavy weight QL programmers to contribute to current needs 8 Eliminate the differential between UK and overseas subscribers All are good ideas - none are exclusive - it is unlikely that there is a single simple solution to regeneration - at the moment all should be explored. There is a will on this forum & there is a way in Quanta's coffers.

One of our problems is that members have been far too quiet and submissive at AGMs. We could try to change that next year.
