Welcome back Matthew - many of us were involved with the QL in the 80s and the community is still going strong - QDOS went on to be morphed into other things - Minerva and SMSQ/e (replacement QL operating systems), and SMS2 (can't remember what that was sold for).
Welcome back Wrangler, I too am a returner after some 20 odd years and find the QL above all other retro machines the most frustrating and the most fun.

Standby alert
“There are four lights!”
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year
QL, Falcon, Atari 520STFM, Atari 1040STE, more PC's than I care to count and an assortment of 8 bit micros (Sinclair and Acorn)(nearly forgot the Psion's)
