@Dtl I LOVED the QL. Bragged about it to friends. Carried the brochure around in school. Total fanboy. Everything about it was amazing for its time, except the stoopid tape drive!

@wcbdata I had a book about one in the mid 90s. Not sure where I got it from. I finally got a QL in late 90s, but it had never worked correctly. I understand that's a feature, not a bug.
