Clive Sinclair was delusional in the mid 80's with that ridiculous C5, and fifteen years on he hasn't got any better.
What a total plonker.Comment

Bloody hell, you aren't joking either:
Not bad for a guy who looked like this, at his peak:The many women in his life have included Ruth Kensit, a cousin of Patsy Kensit, and actress Sally Farmiloe, from 1980s TV drama Howards Way, who was also linked to Jeffrey Archer.
But this year balding Sir Clive, a former Mensa chair with an IQ of 159, married a lap dancer and former Miss England 36 years his junior.
Angie Bowness, whom he met in Stringfellows, has now become Lady Sinclair thanks to Sir Clive's life peerage.

Just a moment; the UK economy is crying out for innovative people who can do useful stuff with technology. Sir Clive Sinclair might have had a couple of silly ideas, but he's done some good stuff too, and I don't think IT people should be mocking too much when a British technologist is trying to make a success of things. I'm not sure this idea will really make a lot of money, but I think Sir Clive could be very helpful if he was contracted by HM Government instead of some of the consultancy knobheads that currently 'advise' on technology. A giggle, sure, but a generally approving giggle and a round of
for an eccentric who probably got a lot of us started in computing.

It's an improvement on the C5 IMO. Hard to say whether it will sell though.
