-A wide range of business and games software has been released over the years, and the QL is still supported by some traders, a user group ([[http://www.quanta.org.uk|Quanta]]), which organises QL workshops and publishes a bi-monthly magazine.  Up until 2013, there was even an independent quarterly magazine ([[http://www.sinclairql.net/repository.html#QLToday|QL Today]]).
+A wide range of business and games software has been released over the years (over 1200 titles have been identified), and the QL is still supported by some traders, a user group ([[http://www.quanta.org.uk|Quanta]]), which organises QL workshops and publishes a bi-monthly magazine.  Up until 2013, there was even an independent quarterly magazine ([[http://www.sinclairql.net/repository.html#QLToday|QL Today]]).
 Other sources of help and information are via the popular [[http://lists.q-v-d.com/listinfo.cgi/ql-users-q-v-d.com|emailing forum]] and [[http://www.qlforum.co.uk|web based forum]] for discussion of all things QL related.
+Whilst there have been two large private preservation projects over the past 10 years, a large amount of QL software remains missing in action, and of the titles which have been preserved, the majority is still subject to copyright and therefore not readily accessible.  However, a large proportion of the most popular QL titles over the years have either been released as freeware and are available from the [[http://www.dilwyn.qlforum.co.uk/|Sinclair QL Homepage]], or remain available commercially.
+Hardware continues to be developed for the Sinclair QL with recent projects revolving around SD card and Compact Flash adaptors, and memory expansions.
