@DigitalIceAge: A friendly reminder to supply a QPQ. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:23, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- QPQ now done (finally!). DigitalIceAge (talk) 07:31, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Image is PD (from a brochure without a copyright notice pre-1978). Both hooks check out. I accept "emulated with" and "compatible with" as interchangeable in this particular context. No textual issues. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:25, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
