the Sinclair C5.
an embarrassment of the already embarrassing 1980's, or a missed oppertunity we should all be regretting?

The C5 looked very unsafe, I an not surprised it didn't catch on.
As for Sinclair's other inventions, I had a ZX81; it switched itself off when the fridge buzzed and I had to balance a glass of water on the top of it to stop it from overheating!
My Spectrum + was cool though.

oh yes, spectrums were excellent. i still have a 48k and a +2.
my other fave sir clive invention was probably the electric bike. he never missed a beat...

When walking home from work this evening I was nearly mown down by an idiot riding a mini-motor-bike ON THE PAVEMENT. He was actually going faster than the cars on the road and rode aggresively towards me laughing his stupid head off. i hope he falls off of it very soon and does himself some serious mischief.
legaly there not allowed on any Pubnlic highway inclucing the pavement so if he hit a lampost adn does him self in he will still be foced to PAy for the repiars,.
