RIP Sir Clive Sinclair

[Erich Templar]

Home computing pioneer Sir Clive Sinclair dies aged 81

The man responsible for my career, as his ZX80, ZX81, and ZX Spectrum computers were my introduction to IT.

Brought a tear to my eye on hearing the sad news.

Started my computer journey on a Sinclair Spectrum ZX back in the 80's and and still enjoying the benefits working in IT.

I still have a rubber keyboard ZX under my bed along with 100's of tapes and various computer gaming mags.

The ZX was the first computer I fiddled around with too. Never had one though.
RIP mister Sinclair.

A living legend has passed away. His legacy will live on for a long, long time.

Aww, that's sad... I hung onto my Timex Sinclair 1000 for a long time, but it ended up being incorporated into an award trophy for someone along the way.

Such a strange device.

Same here. I learned Timex Basic then Z80 assembly on the US version of the zx81. I still have the book.
