Sir Clive Sinclair. Dies, 81.
Legend of the 80's 
To think he made a pocket TV, when today everyone has the equivalent combined into a phone.
And I'd rather drive a modernised C5 than wobble about on a e-scooter and likely get thrown off when the front wheel embeds itself into the average pothole (or hit by a car when swerving to avoid it)!
Never managed to get a ZX; I had Commodores instead. But I did first learn machine code on Z80 microprocessors.

He was certainly a tech pioneer. A lot of his ideas were too far ahead of time and ultimately failed, but have now borne the test of time and become a success. A true visionary, RIP Sir Clive!
