While I doubt I'd have time to do anything specific on this, I'm quite happy for example for copiesof my website to be put on CD to be given away to help with cases like this. The website is 99% relative URLs for links within itself and full URLs for external links, so it might well work from CD, apart from some obvious features like the Form message service. Putting a free browser on the CD might be one way of running, though anyone with a browser should be able to fire it up from the index.html file. If you are interested, I could send you a copy on CD to try.
Since my website contains links to other QL sites, general information, trader links as well as a lot of Free Software, it might be quite useful, especially if I could make time to merge the TopCities documentation site onto the CD. Haven't really thought this through yet, just floating the idea. I'm not sure if there's space on it, if there is, you'd be welcome to merge the "website CD" with QL Emulators CD to be given away in cases like this. -- Dilwyn Jones ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rich Mellor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 7:59 PM Subject: [ql-users] Attracting others to the Sinclair QL > On the World of Spectrum site, someone quite vaildly asked why they > should > buy a QL and what benefits it would have over a Spectrum. > > I started answering the discussion and there seems quite a bit of > interest > in the QL and finding out what it was capable of. > See http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15319 > > I just wonder whether we are missing something here. > > I really think that the one thing which would be useful would be a > Sinclair QL database.
