Sir Clive Sinclair - R.I.P.
Having had my mind occupied recently, I missed the fact that Sir Clive passed away a couple of days ago.
What a pioneer, and no doubt influenced millions of lives. Inventors don't have 100% success but some affect us all for the future. |

Sir Clive Sinclair changed my life to what I am today with ZX Spectrum which I still have as working example in my collection.
Rest In Peace! |

R.i.p. Guy was a true genius.
I think you can still get spares to restore the C5 (And no, I don't mean the Citroen!). Mac

I desperately wanted a C5 when I was younger, still do now. An absolute genius that was way ahead of his time!
