Sir Clive Sinclair has died
RIP Sir.<p>I was gifted the 48K when I was 6 yrs old - it changed my life. I am here because Sir Sinclair built a machine whose setup instructions said:<p><i>Now that you have set up the computer, you will want to use it. The rest of this
booklet tells you how to do that; but in your impatience you will probably already
have started pressing the keys on the keyboard, and discovered that this removes
the copyright message. This is good; _you cannot harm the computer in this way._
Be bold. Experiment. If you get stuck, remember that you can always reset the
computer to the original picture with the copyright message by taking out the '9V
DC IN' plug and putting it back again. This should be the last resort because you
lose all the information in the computer.</i><p>"You cannot harm the computer in this way."<p>That single sentence started a life long journey. I doubt I would have been bold enough at that age to mess around with one of our most valuable possessions.
