For those non-English speakers, 'taking the cloth' is another way of

   One further thought inspired by a private email. How do we do feedback?
  I can bring a digital camera if that is of any use.
 
 
 Pictures will be no problem as several people will have cameras including
 me. I am just wondering if anyone would be interested in writing about
 various items. Even if I am unable to set up a feedback website, I'm sure
 QL-Today would appreciate the material.
Most certainly. As I'm not attending myself, I asked Jochen to try to arrange 
something with someone he knew would be attending. A major event like QL2004 deserves 
coverage since only a small percentage of QLers attend shows, so the only contact much 
of the readership have with these events is via our reports.

I anyone is prepared to write a bit about the event for us, please do let Jochen or 
myself know.

[ql-users] QL Speed Index

2004-10-13 Thread Davide Santachiara
(Eros Forenzi) QL Speed Index of QPC v3.1 running on different platforms
(just for your curiosity)

2460 (24 times faster than Gold Card) Centrino 1,6 MHz (ASUS Notebook) Win
XP
2562 P4 3200 MHz W2000
2733 Athlon 2600+ (2100 MHz) Win XP
1983 Celeron 2600 MHz W2000
1447 Athlon 1000 MHz W2000
628  Celeron 550 MHz (IBM notebook Win ME)

I have already posted a few months ago some of the results. It seems that
Athlon processor are very well suited for QPC2 (vs Intel ones). However the
new Centrino for notebook gives excellent results (considering also it's a
CPU devoted to notebook).

Best Regards

Davide

Darren, on the assumption that the version you have is th emost up to date available, 
would it be possible for you to send me the complete files so that once the copyright 
issue is dealt with, I can immediately be in a position to put it on the website for 
download if the copyright situation permits by then.

There's been a lot of correspondence and interest, I'd like to be in a situation for 
the PD library and download site to be able to offer it if the situation permits.

As I don't have the original perfection or SE versions, I guess documentation would be 
needed as well. My hope is that I can be chasing up the files while attempts are made 
to sort out the copyright situation, so that it's ready to go when permission is given 
and avoid further delays.

Not even a tablecloth with a pint on it?
Now that is more like it.
I have certainly done that with the green tablecloth - the stains are
there to prove it.

I can stand testament to that one!!

I remember tony asking me after several hours drinking at one of the QL
shows over here if we had a chance of another round - it was approaching 1
o'clock in the morning.  I said sure, just tell the barman you're with me.
Tony went up and was amazed when he got served!!

You gotta love Ireland. I remember being refused a beer at Malcolm Cadmans
local in London before 11pm, and the Landlady was Irish!! She said it took
her some getting used to!

Cheers,

 P.S. Must stop boasting about my hijacking activities. If this list
is still
 monitored by Echelon I could find myself in Guantanomo Bay instead
of
 Eindhoven on Saturday.
With some of the bad publicity airlines here have had recently, you
might end up in Cuba, your luggage in New Zealand, your QL in
Eindhoven.No help needed from Echelon!!!

Does all this talk of 'hijacking' make Geoff Wicks the official
ql-users and Quanta terrorist???
