Rest in peace Sir Clive, you changed the lives of millions of children including mine!

I learned programming on a Spectrum+ and I am still programming now as a scientist..

Thank you

Rest in peace, as a kid I was a ZX Spectrum user, as an adult now a software developer. Clive Sinclair played a part in his life like to so many of us. RIP

As a petrolhead, the Sinclair C5 is a piece of genius ahead of its time.
