There has been fantastic interest on this forum in the MQA technology and what it means to HH with M systems; these are very exciting times!

You may also have noticed that we have been very fortunate to get exclusive - not published anywhere else - information from HQ, as we have done on several things for some time now. In the MQA thread, we have had information directly posted by John Buchanan, and highly informative quotes from Richard Hollinshead and today Bob himself.

We're delighted to advise that, in the continued spirit of co-operation between HH and Meridian, we have been invited to reinstate the old "CES Q&A with Bob". For those not familiar with this, it's really simple: we ask Bob questions, and Bob answers all of our questions not pertaining to future product roadmaps wink. For reference, all of the previous Q&A threads are linked to in The Meridian Q&A / FAQ Thread.

In terms of subjects for the Q&A, although HQ is not limiting us to the topic of MQA, they have asked that we limit the number of questions to a "Top 10". One of the reasons that the Q&A sessions petered out was due to the significant effort required of Bob to answer a very long list of questions. For this reason, and also in anticipation of more regular (small) Q&A sessions, we are going to restrict this particular Q&A session to MQA only.

We will collect Q's in this thread and then collate and tidy up what we have into a "Top 10" list. Meridian will endeavour to respond with A's in as timely a manner as possible.

Rules for this thread:
  • Please avoid any debate or discussion on the questions. Save that for the main MQA thread. This thread is for Q's only.
  • Also, let's try and not repeat Q's that have already been answered in the main MQA thread. Please re-read the MQA thread to see how our understanding has been evolving.
  • And obviously, don't waste Q's on stuff you already know the answer to: e.g. future product maps; top secret tech inside MHR; when will the labels issue content; etc.
Let's get a Top 10 of really good Q's, so we get a Top 10 of really good answers. Game on...
