# QL News

Happy New Year! We hope 1987 is a good year for you. The year starts with QL “clones” being in the news. Both CST’s THOR and Sandy’s new FUTURA are causing a lot of interest in the UK. We think it is a good sign that companies are so very interested in further developing QL technology. It means that there should be a continual flow of new products coming out for the QL (both software and hardware? in the coming year.
