This view fits in with what people tell me, that they like and use QDOS or SMSQ/E because it is is interesting and different. You can write your own programs and generally tinker with a computer at your leisure without it being the same old Windows you use every day at work.
We do need to attract some new and/or ex users, and we are fortunate in having high end QPC2 and Q60 to choose from at one end of the QL scale and the free emulators at the other, with an excellent moderately priced high compatibility QDOS emulator in the middle of the proce scale. We all have our preferences as to QL systems, the point is there is a good choice which you don't always get in this kind of situation.
