      From: jnytelia@gmail.com              The inventor of ZX 80 computer, the C5 electric scooter, the Sinclair       pocket calculator and others, has passed away.              The C5 never went anywhere. One of his calculators exploded near me in       engineering class (overheating capacitor). I owned one of his computers       (Spectrum) for a while.              I'm sorry he passed away, he had an inquiring mind. I'm not so sure       about his inventions, though. Best gone, I'd say.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
