It is a shame that he appears to be only remembered for the C5. He was a visionary in electronics which may of taken years to perfect but his ideas were sound.I do think it is rather disrespectful of the Guardian and others to mock someone who was a real genius by relentlessly focusing on the unfortunate C5. Perhaps if we weren't so intent on knocking the successful, we would have a better economy and society.
His ZX81 and then the Spectrum 48k were, for their time, brilliant creations. I spent many an hour on the speccy as a kid.
