I wasn't aware of it before but watched Micro Men. It was odd seeing Alexander Armstrong as Clive Sinclair and the acting seemed a bit patchy to start with, but it's a good film. Sir Clive wasn't a fan of it, saying it was far from the truth.Sir Clive was a genius and I'm really gutted that he has passed on; but what a life he led.
He was one of the last great British inventors who managed to put a computer in many kid's homes and left us with many, many fond memories.
I'd recommend watching Micro Men which is a great encapsulation of computers in Britain in the mid 1980s, and a very funny film to boot.
He was an entrepreneurial businessman who put his inventions before profit, and ultimately paid the price. But he will live on in the hearts and minds of a whole generation of kids and how can you put a price on that?
RIP Sir C.
