Very sad news. A total Speccy legend. Psj3809

He had a remarkable career with Sinclair and designed not just the Spectrum’s case and keyboard, but those for pretty much all their products from the Eighties. Even if the electronics inside weren’t always up to snuff he had a knack for making things look elegant and futuristic. Matt_b

Here’s hoping the Next is a roaring success. It’s a fitting finale for him. antiriad2097

Very sad news. I met him at Spectrum 30 and also saw his presentation last year at the Spectrum 35. A very humble, clever man. RIP, Rick.
