Thanks for the letter about the QL. I'm sorry that I can't reply directly
because my department doesn't allow it. 

All the best people use a QL, hehe. I know many people around the UK, 
mostly in Universities who use it. If you want a faster version, there
is now available a SuperQL which runs at about 90% the speed of an ST.

There is also available a new multi-tasking IBM PC emulator (which comes
complete with MS-DOS verion 4.0) which runs faster on a QL than PC Ditto
does on an ST!

So don't throw it away, or use it as a door stop, use it for programming,
SuperBASIC is the best basic I've found and can be compiled on the ST
with little trouble with Hisoft Basic (which is a conversion of Supercharge).

P.S. You can now get a QL emulation board for the ST!

		Nice to here from a fellow QL owner.

pps	The SuperQL is called the Thor XVI and currently manufactured in
	Germany, it is soon going to be produced in the USSR as the state
	microcomputer! So get coding.... you may become a ruble millionare!
