# Notes & Jottings

As the graphic to the left attests “Another Era Dawns” on the QL community, in fact referring to the QL community really only specifies one area, thus the graphic states QDOS and SMSQ/E. WHY ? The answer is simple, QDOS, SMS, SMSQ and SMSQ/E in one form or another are operating on a multitude of platforms i.e. Atari, Amiga, Mac , PC’s and QL’s. What will the New Era be like?? Will it be Miracle less?? What about the EU directive?? All very good questions.
