Over here in the US, I remember seeing the Sinclair QL in a magazine (probably Byte?) and
thinking it looked exotic and interesting. I thought the little tape drives looked neat,
and didn?t know enough to appreciate how much better a floppy drive would have made the
system.
I have no regrets at all about getting an Amiga 1000 to take to college, and now I
appreciate even better than then just how lucky I was. But to this day, I?d still like to
play with a QL and get an idea of what it would have been like to head off to college with
a shiny new one of those. There are a few other UK computers which I?m also curious about,
since they?re not so common over here in the US.
