Hello All,
I am a UK subject Living and working in Frankfurt.
As an IT Specialist, I have a lot to be thankful for, that Clive Sinclair developed the Cambridge Programmable Calculator. This was my introduction to programming and Clive Sinclair. Since then, I have grown-up with all of his machines up to and including the Z88.
Looking forward to some interesting discussions and learning more About Things I do not know About the QL.
Regards
Simon

Love the Z88 - one of Sir Clive's better ideas

Agree. I use mine each day, when I am sitting in the Pub I quite often get some strange remarks, as most people think that it is a new machine

Hi Simon.
I never had a Z88, but I admit to being a Sinclar addict!
Have fun in the forum, but don't forget the wiki too -

Quite slim at about 2 cm thick

And the best of the 'dead flesh' keyboards from Sir Clive. It even got a reasonable review from Dave on the EEVblog - that's a challenge in itself.
