Sir Clive Sinclair, who gave the world the ZX80, ZX81 and ZX Spectrum computers, as well as the electric C5, has passed away aged 81.

The man was a visionary, to whom we owe more than we realise.

RIP.

RIP Sir Clive. He was a visionary. Without him computers might not have been affordable for home use. Over the years we had a ZX80, ZX81 and the ZX Spectrum. I remember playing Manic Miner on the Spectrum which was dowloaded from a cassette tape.

RIP Sir Clive.
Years ahead of your time with the C5 in an attempt to bring EVs to the masses.

Wow Sad news here.

What a great guy and a great computer maker. 1 I used a lot from the 16k and 32k Spectrum.

The games I played on the Spectrum were ahead of their time.
