Amstrad revival- hopeful revisionism?

No disrespect to Lord Sugar, but I hope Amstrad don't make a comeback. He has already made enough millions selling crap.

My first Hi Fi was a Sony separates system with a Garrard turntable and monitor audio column speakers. I still have them 40 years later. Probably to heavy to carry in the burglary.

You're absolutely not wrong - Amstrad computers were basically a ZX Spectrum in a posh-but-poorly-made frock.

As I recall, they tried to move into the x86 PC business with a couple of IBM PS/2 clones, which utterly failed to get anywhere in the market (and for good reason).

Re-watched Micro Men yesterday. I'd forgotten that Sugar bought all the computing IP from Sinclair Research after the market went tits up in the 80s.
