Re: RIP Thread
Funny enough just halfway through his empire making of book after the first superb one about A New Hope - the Alien one is fantastic too - he will be missed.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

You can argue about how much he was involved in the technical aspects and the like, but theres no doubt - his little rubber keyed black box changed the world, or at least that part of it that currently calls itself the UK. Thank you, Uncle Clive - for the tape load waits, for the colour clash, for the BEEP, and for Jet Set F**king Willy.

Yes, same here. As a child, I grew with a Spectrum and an image of him as some kind of genius par excellence. I still mostly feel that way really.grue wrote:That's hit me harder than I expected..Ratsoap wrote:Sir Clive
