I realize that this is comp.sys.atari.st, but am hoping that with the
large numbers of European readers I may get a response.  I am looking
for anyone that is still using the Sinclair QL system. Remember it?
*$@!#$ microdrives?!!  I just reactivated mine after a 2.5 year stint
of dust gathering, and am wondering if there are any users still left.
 
I am particularly interested in learning of any sources of public domain
software, or user groups.  My intent is to give the QL to my son, if I
can find some good software.  I currently have Turbo, and the Assembler
Workbench, but I don't think a 9 year old is ready for 68k assembler!
 
If I don't hear from anyone, I think the 'ol QL is destined for the 
dustbin. sigh
