Hello from London!

(And thanks admins for activating my account!)
Not a lot to say about me really except that I don't (yet) own a QL... I was all of 11 years old in 1984 and wide-eyed and slightly obsessed when it first came out. There was, of course, no earthly way I was going to get my hands on one except on demo in a shop.
So I am looking forward to getting my hands on one at some point this year if the price is right; meanwhile, I'm just going to have a play with emulators and see what I can do and learn in the meantime.
Also very happy here reading all about what you folks have been doing with this beautiful machine.
(And to pick up on a point made by one or two recent joiners that resonated, I'm also kind of making a point to myself about the resources wasted by modern software; hoping to come out writing more efficient code in my day job as a result.)
