Hello, Roy wood wrote: Just to put another issue into the mix here, John Mason called me last week and asked if I would organise the 2005 Hove show so it could be the AGM. I have looked into dates for this that would fit Quanta's schedule and I am preparing to book the hall for 17th April. This may have some bearing on the likely date for QL 2005 so I thought I should let you all know now. I would also welcome input from any traders would have a problem with that date. Sounds fine. If Quanta cannot organise the QL2005 why don't we do it ourselves and charge a small admission fee? Indeed, better have *A* solution than no show at all.

[ql-users] QPC2 version 3.23
New QPC2 version 3.23 is now available for download on my web page at http://www.kilgus.net/qpc/ . Excerpt from the version history: 3.23 PAR dialog sometimes didn't show the actual settings. Changed printer enumerations so that unavailable network printers don't delay everything. Slightly improved compatibility with Wine (/Cedega) Windows emulator. Removed small bug in new implementation of MOVEM 68k command. If "Keep aspect ratio" is selected window size snaps to exact multiples of SMSQ/E resolution when near that size. Umlauts in registration information are now handled correctly. SMSQ/E time could be wrong in the first second QPC is run. Update is strongly recommended.

There are other things the £4 could be spent on, like making the magazine colour, projects like printer software, a better SGC or a lottery bid for a portable case, USB, ethernet etc. etc. I think Quanta members are price innerlastic and therefore after over 10 years at £14 we should be raising the price. How many members will the reduction to £10 generate, have you got a plan to target poor QLers and potential poor QLers (say a free QL scheme)? Does the £14/£17 cost differential have to be kept?

Sure, just use menuconfig to update the smsqe.bin file. Can also be done automatically, e.g. EX menuconfig;'\q \u dos1_qpc_smsqe.bin' Of course the old settings have to be learned first.

Lets not fade away. Thanks for this contribution, Tarquin, it is the sort of discussion we should be having. I would like to see the subscription stay at £14 with the differential removed. (The £3 extra for overseas members only brings in £150 from an income of £6000). I don't think a reduction to £10 would bring in any new members, but £4 per member invested in QL development might encourage one or two more people to join.

I get the impression that with Quanta we are dragging a reluctant bride to the altar and that rarely makes for a happy marriage. Problem is that there is a hefty capital expenditure before the event, plus you have to be sure there is insurance cover. We would be talking a minimum of £200 for the hall and possibly a lot more unless someone knows an "Eindhoven solution", that is a school or similar we could use for nothing.

[ql-users] SMSQE 3.07 & Old QLs
Super Gold Card :Qubide :Serial Mouse & Auroa The pointer icon is replaced with a cross and neither the right button or the left button works. Hence it is useless for pointer programs unless I use the keyboard.
