Went to know this morning and fills me with sadness because its creation (my 48k speccy) filled up my teenage years and taught me to program in BASIC, Rest in Peace sir Clive

Every news story has a c5 photo as the head photo. I find it quite disrespectful as he brought some good yet they show the one thing that failed. Media can be such scum. He will always be Mr Zx not Mr C5 to me

Thanks for everything Sinclair. We will continue to use your great computers. |

The girl next door seduced me with her brother's Speccy. We never did complete The Hobbit. Something always... came up.
 Cheers, Clive!

First computer I saw also, first games I ever saw, first games I ever played. Always enjoyed spectrum games. I know big Clive hated the fact it turned into a game platform but I dunno if he realised that was also a good thing and paved the way for the future really! Quote:

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum+ in 1984. First game I played on it was hungry Horace. Epic memories.

Very sad news....
I still have my original Spectrum 48k - recapped this year and I even managed to load in my first ever BASIC program that I saved to tape plus a few other bits and pieces that were on there after all this time. Time to dig out the MicroMen TV program and rewatch it... |

I started in 1982 with a ZX81 followed by several Speccys.
Beside my Amiga (started, when first A500 was available) , Sinclair Spectrum is my alltime favourate. R.I.P. Clive |
