It's still really funny to me that Clive thought his little toy computers could compete with the likes of IBM in the enterprise world.

>>12616634
speccy was $100
IBM PC was $3000
they could both run spreadsheets. Clive won.

>>12616636
Clive lost and is dead.

I'll wait

>>12616634
STOP ATTACKING THE MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION!

>>12616664
Albert Charpentier, Robert Yannes, Robert Russel, Charles Winterble and Jack Tramiel.

>>12616636
I've heard it said that the Americans like to give as much money to the corporations as possible because they're bootlickers. I don't know if personally can subscribe to that view myself, but it seems to be a pretty popular view

It was only useful for games and children's homework.

Clive lived

>>12616771
He died too. Along with his little toy computer and all of his other failed inventions that literally nobody adopted.

Steve Jobs actually wanted the Macintosh to be affordable. One of the reasons he got fired was he kept complaining that the price was way too high.

>>12617190
Where did that sentiment go 20 years later?

>>12617212
It was no longer needed because cheap PCs already flooded the market. Steve Jobs dream of every home having a personal computer had come true (but those computers weren't macs).

Job's vision was lifted from this heeb, Jeff Raskin.
The computer the Mac was supposed to be ended up becoming the Canon Cat.

look outside, see all those faggots zipping around on electric bikes?

Clive Sinclair, right there.

which RE thread died for this speccy autism now?

>>12616771
the irony here is that the C5 looks far cooler than an electric scooter in 2026

The sinclair spawned the British golden age of gaming, which saw the best games ever being developed. Rare games were on par with Nintendo games and GTA spawned one of the biggest franchises ever.

Be thankful to Sir Clive

>Clive makes the speccy so kids can learn how to program
>they all start making games
>NOOOOOOOOO NO LIKE THAT!

>>12617983
I would be horrified too if I saw my invention being used to create such horrible atrocities
