Dear QL users,
My name is Vojin Vidanovic, I am retro fan and social sciences teacher from Belgrade Serbia
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=62Briq0AAAAJ
Until few years back I was adherent Amigan zealot, but I have dropped the ball
https://amitopia.com/interview-with-voj ... -voja-vox/
Now, I have decided to "go back to QL", as it was my childhood dream to replace
unexpanded ZX48 with it. In alternate universe, if I haven't bought C64 and Amiga 1200HD
I would be a QL lover
To me, its unperfect synth of last 8 bit (ports, DOS and basic in ROM, address bus, microdrives, membrane kbd ...) and first 32 bit m68k computer.
Sigh, If deceased Sir (RIP) did listen to team and did not save costs (used 68010, built in modem and printer, monitor only, mechanical keyboard, 768k as base mem, 3.5" Sony DD FDD, more colors and sound chip ...) he could beat Atari and Amiga. But QL and its community, as with CBM, Amiga and Atari have persistently expanded old horse beyond its limits ever imagined
Here are my 2 video homages to QL
