Sold an EV before they were cool. Brought computing to the spotty masses for £49.95. The only thing in my collection is the model they plugged into Brittens for engine analysis.

RIP big guy.

Oh wow, he created the first computer I ever used (a ZX Spectrum +!) Many happy memories. RIP Sir Clive.
PS Micro Men was a very interesting look at the Spectrum/Acorn wars in the 1980s:

My first - and by that I mean, the first computer that my parents had at home for me - was a 16k Spectrum. Amazing little machine.

I had a Speccy that I picked up at a garage sale. Many after-school hours spent playing Lords of Midnight, Skool Daze and Elite.

RIP Sir Clive

My first PC was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k. We used Sinclair QLs in the classroom at the time so it was handy to bring home school projects to work on.
