# From Where I Sit

Several months ago, | suggested that we start a series on how we used our computers. At the time I thought that it would be interesting to see the QL in a wide variety of settings. Who knows, it might have contained the spark that caused another person to say, “Hey, I need to do that too”. Well the response has been UNDERWHELMING. I guess that it was predictable, seeing that my previous requests have met similar fates. Well, if you thought that silence would make the topic go away, you’re WRONG.
