Who had one of his first pocket calculators or his zx spectrum basic computer?
RIP British pioneer

 

[Bear1951]

Ironically Sinclair used a slide rule rather than the calculator he devised. Would make a great topic for a biopic.

Like Jimmy Armfield, he just missed the 1966 WC team.

I knew you were old but didn't realise you were so close to getting a telegram from the Queen.

Justice was done and they did belatedly get their medals.

Not quite that old, the slide rule and log tables were my father's. He went to technical college and was a metallurgical chemist in the lab at Barrow Iron & Steel Works during and after the war. Moved to ICI at Hillhouse in the early 1960s. When I was at Baines GS in the early 70s they got us to use slide rules and log tables until calculators came along, so quite old I suppose

Read Finneys scrapbook the other day and the obligatory section on him being compared to Mathews and he wrote a fantastic piece about his admiration for Morty.
Said he (Morty) scored Finneys favourite ever goal for England and said he was only just behind Greavesie as the greatest goalscorer ever.

RIP Jim.
