Title: Clive Sinclair dead

Channel 4 covered this with emphasis on the C5 which misses the point entirely. The ZX Spectrum is iconic.

Aw. I remember the C5 very well, used to see them around in London when I worked up there.

Mini TVs too, they were gorgeous.

81 not a bad age at all.

I am the proud owner of a Sinclair executive calculator, a Sinclair micro TV (MTV1) , a Sinclair programmable calculator and incredibly economic Sinclair Hi Fi modules.  Well done Sir Clive!

I have Clive to thank for my first introduction and incursions into the joys of machine code programming on the Z80 chip. I've still got a ZX80 and a ZX81 computer somewhere.
