It was the Sinclair C5 NOT the Citroen C5 - he also enabled us all to have a cheap pocket calculator - an inventor who's ideas could clearly be hit and miss.

A true eccentric and a wonderful innovator. Years ahead of his time in many ways.
I didnt know he invented the citroen c5 ;-)

RIP Sir Clive. Remember the ZX80 and the ZX81, followed by the ZX Spectrum, in full colour. Well, a few more colors than the first two.

Happy days. Many people took their first steps into computing using those simple machines.

It's not fair that Clive gets all the credit.

The spectrum was a great bit of kit until you fucked up the keyboard playing Daley Thompson's decathlon.

He was one of those people who had great ideas but could never make it successful
