Happy New Year from an old timer

I found this board when looking for some information about QemuLator. The task was not made any easier by the fact that there's also a program called Qemulator, but DuckDuckGo came up trumps.
I got a QL back in 1985 and it survived endless upgrades until I replaced it with a Q60 to get internet access. Alas, the Q60 and I did not get on, so I built a PC and installed QemuLator.
Back in the 80s, I wrote an astrology program in SuperBasic. It has features that no commercial equivalent has, and there's no way I'm going to convert over 5000 lines of SuperBasic to another language!* I also still use a home budget spreadsheet in Abacus that I'm too lazy to convert. I'm not really a games player, although I do like the occasional go at QL Dominoes or AJSCR.
* try putting this into FreeBasic:
IF ((CODE(opt2$)||32)-96)*2 <> mund_sys$(1 TO 2) INSTR " AlCaKoMoPlPoReZa" THEN
PS "ROM dongle"? How undignified; but I was once a "Baby hen" at the Sabayon forum.
