Absolutely, well said.

Over the years, I nearly left the QL scene a couple of times too, but stayed with it for the usual reason, it had a social side and I made some great friends through it, and writing software and magazine articles gives me great pleasure - I've spent the best part fo two years (off and on) writing Launchpad to give the QL a GUI of some form with little or no chance of making a "profit" out of it, it has been a labour of love. I can't see me abandoing ship yet, although reading Geoff's letter makes me understand his reasons fully for planning his future the way he has done.. Geoff, I hope you will make the most of your remaining times with us and thank you so much for all your hard work and excellent software over the years.
