In time, I'd like to build a beginners section (needs a bettername
as it
would be for "returners" too) on my website with articles like this
and
some of the more commonly asked questions (such as how to transfer
files
between QL and other computers, unzipping etc etc). There are such
articles on there already, but a bit scattered and not easy enough
to find.
"Basics"?

Good idea! Covers all bases - beginners, less experienced users and
returners.
Thanks, Tony.
Any more suggestions, anyone?
And what sort of topics might such a section include - at the moment
I'm thinking in terms of :
File transfer
Zip/Unzip
expanding a basic QL
contact points (e.g. Quanta, Rich Mellor, QL Today...)
boot programs
pointer environment
operating systems - QDOS versions, Minerva, SMSQ/E...
Essentials to start with... (adding disk systems, adding toolkit 2,
etc)
Emulators and "real" QLs compared - how to choose which is right for
you and so on.
A lot of this type of material is already there but needs pulling
together a bit better into a "Basics" section. A new year resolution
for me perhaps. Hopefully I'll be a bit less busy in the new year!
