R.I.P. Sir Clive Sinclair
We had a 'computer lab' at my Secondary School, but the first computer we had at home was a ZX Spectrum.
I remember sitting with my Dad, re-typing programs on the rubber keys from newsprint magazines, and watching the fruits of our work on the TV.
10 PRINT "Hello World"
20 GOTO 10
By the end I had a huge library of games on cassette tape; The Hobbit, Manic Miner, anything from Ultimate.
The BBC has a nice 2013 video clip with Sir Clive where he states he doesn't use a computer as its too distracting
.
Having this affordable computer changed my life. Thanks Sir Clive.
