So Clive Sinclair has passed away

[blue matt]

I must admit, the ZX81 then the Spectrum were my first Computers and set me of down the geek road

I guess it was the start of " backing up games " aswell

Who can forget

Football manager
Daley Thompsom Decathlon, batter those keys
Outrun ( which at that time was vastly better on the mega drive )
Italia 90 ( as outrun, the mega drive was just killing home computer games by then )

Apparently, They're not going to use a Hearse to carry his Coffin, but 9 of those C5's taped together.

Centre Parcs bought a load of them for guests to use around their parks.
Don't know if they're still in use.

Re: So Clive Sinclair has passed away

I wonder with modern batteries and motors what the range and speed of the c5 could be.

Re: So Clive Sinclair has passed away

I installed a conveyor system at Hoover in Merthyr
There were loads of them there
I think they were assembled on the site

Re: So Clive Sinclair has passed away

I reckon if he'd launched the C5 40 years later we'd all have one.

Proper visionary Sir Clive.
