Watching some Channel 5 prog about embarassing 80's and the current topic is the C5. It's getting completely slagged off.

    What's embarassing about the Speccy? It sold millions, people loved it and it spawned a huge industry.

    The C5 though, now that IS a laugh! :)

    Absolutely.

    I'd disagree with you there. The C5 was before it's time. Way before it's time. 5 pence in electricity charges to go 40 miles? Thats's good in my book. Ok, it looked like a pregnant roller skate, but so what?

    I feel bad now for exposing Mike.

    Exposing his musicall career is another thing!

    Check out todays Sunday Post.

    At last a newspaper that recognises Sir Clives contributions to the world of technology instead of just slagging him and the C5 off.

    The article tells of his latest electric bike one that can fold into a rucksack.

    Sounds pretty cool to me

    LOL...

    I don't think you could go 40 miles on a C5, unless you were being fired from a cannon or something.

    Hmmm, I stand corrected. The top range on a single battery is approx. 13 miles according to http://www.sinclairc5.com/

    If I were Clive Sinclair, I'd take the opportunity to appear on these programs and say... "F*ck the lot of you... I'm rich, intelligent and have had more blart than the lot of you put together. Now who's the daft sod?"

    ..and somehow I don't think he drives to work in a three-wheeled bath-tub, either..

    - intelligent enough to flog it all off to Alan "you're fired!" Sugar, just so he could sink it without trace..
