Your QL Wiki and software rescue projects are a good initiative to preserve the QL. Are you aware of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_QL_Software Wish: Any software which has been released from the rightholders should be downloadable in the web. Maybe the download stuff could all be on Dilwyn's pages and the QL Wiki just pointing there. I'm still working on my "Sinclair QL Preservation Project" (SQPP), mainly in scanning QL documents. My goal is to publish PDF's and JPG's some day (maybe to be launched at the QL-Mac-Show).
