If anyone's interested, Sir Clive will be appearing in a program on
BBC4 on digital TV only at 10PM tonight (monday), about the history of
home computers...just in case he mentions QLs and Z88s!

Just watched it...unfortunately he only mentiones the ZX80, ZX81 and the Spectrum. No mention was made of the QL attempt at taking over the PC - possibly because he may have viewed it as a failure (to reach its goal(s) and the effect on the company?). Laptops weren't mentioned, so no Z88 either.


If the program had been longer (to an hour instead or a half), perhaps more could have been mentioned of the micros and alternative systems (eg Jupiter Ace using Forth); it ended with a very quick synopsis of the Sony PS.
