Re: Quill from Gilsoft

Just popped in to say Hi to Alan.

Fond memories of doing the AP adventures on the QL.

(I have yet to open ...

Re: QL Core on Spectrum Next KS3

Re: Windoze 11

Got a new Win11 PC a few days ago.
My old Win10 PCX died without warning and showed no sign of ever working again.

Publisher is still in business
