I am content with QPC2 and a PC, but would probably buy a Q60 if I had the money and the space in the house. For me, it is the ability to use a different type of computer to that which I use every day in work. In QDOS or SMSQ I can write my own programs and generally "tinker" which I would not do on other computer systems. There is also the general level of friendship of the QL community. We all try to help each other. People who stay with the QL generally do so for reasons other than profit, so we end up being a very friendly crowd.
