RIP Sir Clive Sinclair. Your innovations democratized computing and inspired so many, including myself. I vividly remember my first computer, a ZX80, and the sense of wonder and empowerment I felt. It was your device that sparked my passion for engineering.

ZX spectrum kicked off my journey of digital discovery that I am still on to this day. 10 PRINT "Thank you Sir Clive. Rest in peace."

Very sorry to hear this, RIP Sir Clive. The BASIC manual that accompanied the ZX-81 was itself a work of art

The ZX81 was my first machine and introduced me to programming. So many random things are etched into my mind from back then, like RAND USR 16514. Thank you for opening the door for a whole generation of home programmers and generations after that. RIP.

Sinclair QL my first love. I wrote my first game on that computer.

My first home computer was a ZX81, followed by a Spectrum. Certainly got me interested in electronics/technology (I also had a BBC Micro). Sir Clive Sinclair was also a visionary - as I've highlighted in the tribute I wrote on Friday: https://www.embedded.com/goodbye-sir-clive-sinclair/

In 1983 at the age of five the ZX Spectrum 48k arrived at the family home. I owe my career to Sir Clive.

It wasn't the ZX-80, but the ZX-81 that got me started in computer science- 10 PRINT "My name is Venky" 20 GOTO 10. The rest, they say, is history 😉
