Quite right too. Some of us have fond memories of a company called
ICL, 1968-2002.

Didn't they bring out a computer based on the QL, called the "One
born every minute" or something?

The OPD (One Per Desk), vintage 1984.
Details at http://web.onetel.com/~rodritab/shed16.htm and other sites.

My memories of the OPD are a bit sub-fond, though.
