All hail Sir Clive, the man who gave us the first real affordable home computer. Well quite a few affordable home computers I should add, and a few other bits and bobs. A calculator, the Zx80, Zx81, the 16k & 48K Sinclair Zx Spectrums, the latter being the greatest of sellers and achievements.
But.. this blog's not just about the eccentric geekiness of the brainy MENSA belonging Sir Clive, its a blog about a time I had privilege to experience. A blog about times of home grown software companies, and internet-less fun, colour clashing graphics, and even dodgier sound bytes!
A time starting for me back in 1984.
A time I'll never regret belonging to.
