Uncle Clive didn't put floppies in because he figured he could make a
larger profit on the machine with the tape drives and because he gambled
he could get away with it.  I'd say given his track record he probably
has guessed right though it will be a few years before we know if his
QL will sell proportionally as well as his ZX80/81 machines.  After all
what works for over the counter junk may not work for professional
workstations.

He's developed a flat screen CRT in recent years.  I'd be surprised if
it doesn't turn up in a later version of the QL (maybe a QLP) as part of
a portable version.
