Hey Don!
Welcome back and great to hear from you again.
The list has been pretty quiet lately.
And yes, many fond memories of QL show road trips to Rhode Island,
Tennessee, Boston and PA.
Not quite retired here yet, got a few more years to go but I still play
around with QL and
I remember you.
Best regards,
Rod Humphreys

Best wishes.

software preservation effort!

A TV is like a monitor, except it doesn't have the same resolution. :o( Every
