A good homage to a legendary computer
20 December 2024
Without this affordable home computer i would not have had the long and successful career in the Information Technology industry. As a Kid of the 1980's I was there I experienced the home computing boom starting with the Commodore Vic20 which I guess some smarmy salesman convinced my dad to buy for me and my brother when in reality most kids wanted the the Speccy. The Rubber-Keyed Wonder is a long documentary on the most successful product that Sir Clive Sinclair ever produced. Though long the documentary does cover all angles and it is nice to see those who were there at the time., though the addition of mentions of subsequent models such as the 128K and QL me thinks do not add anything to the story., where as Micro Men does. I am glad I was a backer of this movie/documentary otherwise the story would not be told of the pioneering days of the computer industry without which we may not have the multibillion industry we have today.
