I saw him give a lecture about technology, where a cheeky student asked about the disaster of the C5.
His response? "I lost about seven million pounds of my own money on that, but there you go."
Many of us owe our careers to his early influence on the tech scene in the UK. Besides the technical leaps and wild experimentation, he also had a keen enthusiasm for design - Rick Dickinson (Sinclair) and Jony Ive (Apple) were both graduates of the same Design for Industry course in Newcastle.
