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.
I was going to retire it this year as I was informed it lacked a little doobrie that was no longer made for the motherboard.
Apart from an issue of me not realising there was a hidden ...

Re: Advanced QL User Guide

Yes copyright exists until 70 years after death of author.

Author is still alive
Publisher is still in business
So any unauthorised re-publication in any form would leave you open to litigation.

Re: NEXT Annual 2025


Did you get 2 copies too? I seem to have 2, not sure if I accidentally bought two or Fusion books got mixed up their end.

Anyway, it's a great annual, same format as the Crash annuals. Top quality.

Re: Software on 5.25" Diskette

When I was running CGH Services, I had a twin 5.25" drive and a twin 3.5" drive set-up so I could supply software on either format.

So it's possible I supplied some on 5.25" floppies, but mostly it was 3.5".
The 5.25" floppies were 720K IIRC.

(And mdvs as well ofc.)

Re: Quill from Gilsoft

I notice there is a copy of The Quill for sale on eBay.
No idea what version it is though.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305613511362
I did some bidding on it but bailed out before reaching the previous bidder's max.
(Hope it wasn't someone here.)

Re: QL Cartridges lot on Ebay

Re the O/P
that's a lot of familiar stuff there.
For the record : I don't have any contacts for people who wrote CGH Services s/ware unless they are on here or I know them on FB.
The copyright for titles were returned to the authors when I ceased trading. What they did with the copyright titles was ...
