Rather sadly I'd been looking forward to this look back at the micro computer boom of the 1980s. I did not think I would learn much however but I was wrong.
A very interesting history of the two companies Acorn and Sinclair. Sinclair is portrayed perhaps a little unfairly as a driven inventor whose ultimate aim is to produce an electric vehicle. Something we know he all did with bad results. I did not know the link between Curry and Sinclair and the early days of Sinclair Radionics being bailed out by the national enterprise board.
Still a classic British story of pioneering but failing to take share in the final market, i.e. the PC dominated world of today.
