A very positive reply, Geoff, thanks.
When I mentioned the cost, BTW, I was thinking in terms of fearing a higher
cost event than this, hence why I might have sounded a little negative.
Certainly, costs of the order you mention could be OK, as long as it became
a well organised event.
The cost to Quanta of the Computer Museum might not be as high as we fear if
I have understood Rich's ideas properly. I think he was talking in terms of
a general event including ZX81 and Spectrum, financed by ticket sales (free
to members?) , with the QL being a little village inside the event and room
for the AGM if the event happens around next April. Rich will correct me if
I'm wrong I'm sure.
I don't mind too much if the AGM takes place as a small event in Manchester
and a second"QL is 30" later in the year.
I was also heartened by Peter Graf's email where he suggests there is "a
good chance"of the QL-SD card becoming reality this time, as "Someone is
seriously looking into building it now"
Wouldn't it be a nice new year if somehow we got both a QL-SD card and a "QL
is 30" event!!!
