I agree with Ducan. I have no reason to use an emulator; if I have to use an host computer to run QL programs, I will use the host native OS instead. However, as with many retro-computing lovers, using a actual old computer has a lot of charm. It amaze me to see how much stuff an old computer can do. And buying stuff to upgrade a retro computer is a big part of the fun. Would I buy new hardware for my QL ? Probably, depending of what it does. USB board, ethernet board or all in one solution would be very tempting. François _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
