At least they'd been there much of the day without getting thrown
out...I knocked a pint over within minutes of arrival and nearly got
thrown out before having my first drink! Still, the laptop came in
handy when paying for the food didn't it Darren ;-))

Yeah, I remember Jeremy getting the most expensive steak on the menu and
Stuart refusing to pay for it - The deal was he was paying for Jeremy's
trip as he was a Miracle employee at the time. He got a huge 16oz T-Bone,
and it cost twice what the rest of us were paying for our meals. To settle
the row, Dilwyn got out his then newish 486 Toshiba Laptop with QPC1 on it,
and began using the Calcualtor of QPAC1 to divide the bill.. ;-)

He he, been trying to get Darren to do this for ages, with many false
starts. To anyone fancying a few days in Ireland at that time of year
it's a superb place to be, and the last Irish show was such fun we'll
hardly forget it! I've also wanted to get to one of the USA QL shows
but each and every year something happens to prevent me going, I've
pretty well given up trying now.

Getting a time that suits all is really hard. I so wanted the attendance at
the first show to be high, but at the last minute the dozen or so people
from Northern Ireland who said they'd make it pulled out, as did a few
others from around the country. Anyway, it turned out to be a holiday (and
a p*ss up) for us all more than a show, so thats probably the basis for the
next one - stay tuned... I have been hounded by several people for another
one (Stuart emails me every few months about it!) so it must have been
good.

Anyone wanting to travel to Ireland for the show could do worse than
take a sail and rail (or whatever they're called now) ticket to
Holyhead or south west wales from England. I have found to my surprise
in the past that these can sometimes actually be cheaper than ferry
fare alone due to discounting by the train companies concerned.

This is true, unbelieveably. I found this out quite by accident - I was
used to buying a ticket on the ferry, then a return ticket on the train to
bangor (Dilwyn's house) when I arrived in Holyhead (the rail station is a
few hundred yards from the ferry terminal, all under one roof) I kept doing
this for ages, until one time one of the Stena agents asked me would I be
continuing by rail when I got off the ferry, and I said yes - she then sold
me a Sail and Rail ticket to Bangor return on the ferry, all inclusive
for almost £20 less than the cost of a return ticket on the ferry alone!!
Madness, but true - I still travel this way and its dirt cheap. In fact, at
christmas I visited Dilwyn for a quick day trip to drop over some Xmas
presents - over at 11am and back on the 6.30pm. I got a day return sail and
rail on the ferry and train for only 9 euros!! Thats about a FIVER!

Yeah, damn Ryanair. I paid about 70 euros for a one way ticket to Luton

Met roadworks on the way to the airport which delayed me by over an hour,
and I missed my flight. OK, I'll pay a small fee and be on my way I thought
- sorry, no late fee, I had to buy another ticket from scratch!! Another
70 euros later, its getting expensive. I go to check in my bags at the
desk, and I'm told I'm overweight (well, I'm a big guy, I could have told
them that ;-))
No... Your suitcase is too heavy sir.. that'll be another 84 euros

WHAT???
I couldn't believe it, but had to pay it as I was already 3 hours late
meeting Steve at Luton.
What really annoyed me was that the flight was EMPTY - there were about 20
people max on the boeing 737 and yet they charged me extra for weight!!

Never again - the contrast between Stena Line and Ryanair is unreal - Stena

Agreed. There are several times when I have wanted to be in Wales early so
we can get a head start on travelling in the morning to a Show and as you
say, there are no overnight ferries. I now get the latest one the night
before (hardly late at a usual time of about 4 or 5pm) Would be much better
if I could get one at about 6 or 7am on the morning we are going to drive

I was just remembering the story were Jeremy Reeves (a former miracle

Irish Show. After Roy  Steve, Bill, you, and me had packed up, they still
hadn't returned, so we drew a map on a piece of paper as to where the pub
was and for them to meet us there when then returned, and hung it on the
handlebars of their bicycles which they had left outside - only to get to
the pub ourselves and find they had been there most of the day, and were
half sozzled ;-))

Happy days.. Most memorable for the wrong reasons - it was the following
morning we all woke to the news that Princess Diana was dead. I remember
all of us, including Ian Pizer from Switzerland and his wife standing there
watching the TV in disbelief...

Which reminds me, must get the final bookings sorted for a show over here
again this year. Now I am leaving the bank I will have some additional time
on my hands. Anyone have any preference as to when? I was thinking of July

It was good to see your Compact Flash adaptors 'in the flesh' so to
speak, Phoebus. They had both the hot swappable and no hot swappable
versions there.

Sooo how did you like em?
Good from what little I saw - I didn't get as much time as I'd have
liked to go round looking at things there for various reasons (didn't
take enough PD library and QL emulators CDs with me so spent much of
the day just copying CDs and printing labels and generally fighting
against Windoze printer drivers because I had a different printer to
usual with me)


The adaptors looked pretty good in place at the top of the prototype
Q60 machine. Was I right in thinking that the hot-swappable CF readers
are actually a good deal smaller than the non hot-swappable ones?

Phil Jordan kindly let me have a copy of his THE LIBRARY cds (yes,
plural, that's how many QL software packages he's collected and
inherited from SJPD!) and I gave him a copy of my PD library, so we
can work towards merging the libraries as we both noticed we had
programs the other didn't have.

Wish I knew where he got his CDsa from - they are BLACK on the

black ones before. OK, guess you can take the love affir with black QL

No sooner did I click on SEND than I was looking through Micro Mart
magazine and saw that a company called Media Madness are selling them
for 30p each 100 on a spindle, or 35p each for 100 in plastic sleeve,
both unbranded 16x speed. I've had pretty hit and miss results with
cheap unbranded CDs on my present recorder - most have been quite OK,
a few just wouldn't work with my machine, but gave some of those to
others and they worked OK on a different recorder. Seems that certain
brands work better on certain recorders, at least I presume it's some
feature of the hardware or software on the computer they're written
on, not anything to do with the QXL.WIN QL cds I create. The recorder
concerned is just a simple basic 4x speed rewriter and I always make
sure the CDs are recorded at a speed they are described as being
suitable for.

Hardware wise, there are some pretty good recorders out there now with
features like burn-proof writing, 16x and 24x write (Phil Jordan had
one of those at the Hove workshop and it was impressive) at reasonable
prices. You know what I'm leading up to: when do I get an SMSQE driver

Yes he was, well from about 11AM anyway. He and Steve Reyal had been
up until about 5AM on the morning of the show with some video editing
software or something.

He got clobbered with excess baggage charges when he flew into London
day before, that'll teach him to endanger plane safety with that
massive suitcase of his. (it came back in my car so I know all about
it!)

I'd sent him some emails in the days before the show and didn't get
replies until after I came back, he'd been at least as busy as usual
where he works in Dublin (he's leaving 29th March and they're piling
work onto him like crazy before he leaves...must be nice to be
appreciated!)

The workshop perhaps wasn't the best attended ever but was very
enjoyable. Derek and Dennis from DD Systems were there and the Q60
seems to be getting off to a very positive start with lots of interest
around their stand all day. Hope it all goes well for them - they've
taken a brave step in producing this computer but I think the interest
shown should make it worth it for them.

It was good to see your Compact Flash adaptors 'in the flesh' so to
speak, Phoebus. They had both the hot swappable and no hot swappable
versions there.

I dont know anything about that, but I hope you dont mind me
retailing this repackaged version of a little gem of a story
(and firmly de-railing the thread back On Track (See

Perhaps you havnt yet heard the one about some QL-programmers who were
persuaded by some IBM  Microsoft engineers to take them to a ZX Micro Fair,
back in the late '80s, in a concept-sharing excercise, and to see whats
moving in your great, british computing tradition. They were to go by
train. Unfortunately Company expences policy, yknow.., sorry old man.
meant theyd all be paying for themselves.

The three dossers each bought a ticket, while the
three qlers only bought one ticket between them. As they heard the
ticket-collector coming along the three qlers all quickly piled into the
loo, and when he knocked on the door calling Ticket, please! one of them
pushed their ticket underneath the door to be clipped. The dossers were
mighty impressed by this ploy.

Needles to say they were quite impressed by the QL show too; after all they
had never realised you could actually have a black computer, nor a mass
storage device called a 'microdrive'! (sadly, they still didnt quite seem to
get the point about multitasking..)

On the way back the dossers, having learnt all there was to know, as they
thought, only bought one ticket between them. The qlers, however, didnt buy
any ticket at all.

Sure enough, the ticket-collector came round again and the three dossers
crammed into the first loo, while the qlers piled into the loo opposite.
Just before the last qler scrambled in he knocked on the dossers' door,
calling in a gruff voice: Ticket, please!..

Yes - NA should be shot for their lack of good trains.
There was a 'train' in the schedule from Montreal to Windsor (last NA QL
show) When I got there I found that the 'train' from Montreal was in
fact a bus.  Well not even that, as it wasn't running!
No wonder though - the single track line is dominated by 1 mile long
freight trains at a running pace.

I expect most commuter trains are OK, but they know nothing about fast
long distance.

I was intending to get to this show - would have been my first one - 
but I'll be in Yorkshire that weekend now.  I will get to one, one day!

 Those of you who are coming to the Hove show  and want 
 somewhere to stay 
 might try :
 
 The Ship Hotel, Hove, 01273 734936 (twin rooms £55.00)
 The Kingsway 330, 01273413402 (£25.00 per person)
 Both had rooms available when I checked today.
