www.spodmail.com seems to be down, which hosts Nasta website according to
Dilwyn's link list, it was working a few weeks ago. Dexter who runs the
Spodmail using a dynamic DNS service last posted to this mailing list

on ql-users, 2001 on ql-hardware, and at the October at QL2004 in

[ql-users] Bill wants my Q60 ;-)
(includes recap) The Office of Fair Trading in the UK is trying to close a website that is criticizing their position on Microsoft http://www.oft.me.uk. The website pillories the OFT for lack of action on Microsoft's anti-competitive practices, while the OFT still claims there have been no complaints even after at least one recorded deliver complaint. The site does not back any OFT copyright, however former Director General John Bridgeman is lampooned. The website owner Tarquin Mills has received a series of solicitors letter from OFT, while Fasthosts stop being the register after they got one too. The last letter says that they will seek an injunction (in the High Court propably) to take Tarquin's domian, free speech and all his assets away. This letter seems to be produced by the hot-shot solicitors at the Treasury, based near the high court. The website owner vows to keep his property and not let MicrosOFT lap dogs silence him, "I will see the OFT in court."

[ql-users] OT: OFT say you have our attention on M$ [long]
at you own and operate the website at www.oft.me.uk ("the
Domain Name"), which was registered on 22 January 2006 through Fasthosts
Internet Limited (to whom a copy of this letter is sent for information).
I note that you have most recently acknowledged this in your telephone
conversation with my client on 27 January 2006.
Breach of copyright
It has recently come to the OFT's attention that the website at the Domain
Name ("the Infringing Work") is clearly derived and almost entirely copied
from the Copyright Work, which can be accessed by the public. The OFT has
not authorised you or anyone else to substantially reproduce its website
in this manner. Neither has it authorised you or anyone else to use its logo
on the Infringing Work. In the circumstances, your reproduction of the
Copyright Work without permission amounts to a breach of copyright under
section 17 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
Passing-off
Further, the Infringing Work uses the OFT's name and logo and contains
certain material that has not been created or authorised by the OFT,
including amongst other things a document purporting to be a press release
by the OFT dated 23 January 2006. Such material that has been added and
bears your name does not state that it is not authorised or associated with
the OFT in any way. On the contrary, such material purports to have been
published by the OFT.
The OFT has rights in the OFT name and logo, which came into existence well
before your registration of the Domain Name. You are using the OFT name and
logo without consent and passing off the Infringing Work, which is almost
identical to the Copyright Work, as a website created by the OFT. Your
action therefore amounts not only to copyright infringement but also to
passing-off.
Invalid registration
Further, it is the OFT's position that the Domain Name has been registered
and is being used in a manner unfairly detrimental to its rights and should
be considered an abusive registration. As such the Domain Name is open to
challenge under the Nominet Dispute Resolution Procedure.
Defamation
The Infringing Work contains a number of inaccurate and misleading statements
about the OFT and certain officials. Accordingly, my client is seeking legal
advice in relation to its position in a potential claim against you for
defamation.
Damage
Your continued use of the Domain Name and Infringing Work as well as your
threatened use of the OFT name and logo and/or the Copyright Work on other
websites has caused and will inevitably cause the OFT to suffer serious and
irreparable damage.
My client is extremely concerned by the potential extent of damage to its
reputation caused by the Infringing Work and the current use of the Domain
Name in addition to your threatened use of other domain names in a similar
way. Clearly, it is imperative that the OFT takes action to stop any
further confusion caused to members of the public between the Infringing
Work and the Copyright Work as well as any further damage to the OFT's
reputation and goodwill.
I understand that officials at the OFT spoke to you on 27 January 2006 and
asked you to remove the Infringing Work. I am instructed that you have
refused to do this and that you stated your intention to acquire the domain
name www.oft.co.uk which has been registered by someone else for the
purposes of creating another website similar to the Infringing Work. I also
note from the 'press release' (referred to above) on the Infringing Work
bearing your name that "there are now at least four other copies" of the
Infringing Work on the Internet and that "a newsportal (Drobe) has been
informed".
Undertakings
In light of the above, my client requires you to provide undertakings in
the form as attached. These undertakings need to be signed and dated by you
and returned to me within the next 48 hours (by 4.00 pm on Friday 3
February 2006). If you do not provide these undertakings by that deadline,
I am instructed to commence proceedings against you seeking all of the
remedies to which the OFT is entitled. Those remedies may include an
injunction preventing your use of the Domain Name, OFT name and logo and
any domain name or logo that is confusingly similar to those in which the
OFT has rights, transfer of the Domain Name to the OFT, delivery-up of all
materials that offend against the injunction, and damages. The OFT will
seek its full legal costs in respect of any such action.
Clearly, it is in both your and the OFT's interests that this matter is
resolved without recourse to litigation which would involve significant
costs and expense for which you could ultimately be liable.
My client's full rights are expressly reserved.
Yours sincerely
Smriti Ahluwalia

I would like to use non-compressed ROMs for maximum boot speed, security etc., like a normal QL. The Q60 can use up to 1MB of ROM, so lets play to the advantages of the Qx0 range, while the RAM option is still available as well, problem solved (hopefully, unless it is a problem with Aurora II motherboard replacement). -- Tarquin Mills (Chairman) ACCUS (Anglia Classic Computer Users Society) http://www.speccyverse.me.uk/comp/accus/ http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Spectrum/ (We want a Spectrum +4) ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

The talks program was so packed that it ran over the whole of saturday and
a lot of sunday. Highlights included Leon Heller's talk, Easyptr 4, Sudoku
programs, Dilwyns display exhibition, the Quanta freebees and t-shirts,
and the guess the QL hardware competition. The main problem was getting
to sleep in the hotel whos heating made to much noise and heat. Simon
Goodwin suggested we should link QLs in a network in future and play
FTC etc.
If you have a Tardis you can judge the event for yourself.
