opportunity to bring yourself up to date with the QL developments in 
both hardware and software. It is also your opportunity to meet some

and you can even sit down to dinner with them on Saturday evening - at 
the Ibis - when we will be holding our Celebratory Dinner.

Nice advert John ... although I guess only those people brought up on 
the syntax of 21 years ago would recognise it ... :-)


Do modern computer users do any programming any more ?

Or is it all web pages, video clips and MP3 downloads ... ?

Given that the computer has pretty much become an appliance (sold along 
side TV, Washers, etc), I'm sure most computer users treat it that way.  
The same way that most of us treat our cars, ie. just a way to get 
around.  I'm sure the early horseless carraige hobbyists were not too 
happy when the car gained mass appeal.


I'm sure that those that want to program, do.  And those that don't, don't.
