Micro Men
Posted By: factor6_, Monday, November 09, 2009 - 09:18 AM
If you live in Britain and watch BBC Four you've perhaps noticed something about the film called Micro Men (former Syntax Era). It's about rivalry on the British home computer scene of the early 80s, a fight of Clive Sinclair (Alexander Armstrong) and his former employee Chris Curry (Martin Freeman), founder of Acorn Computers. The rivalry comes to a head when the BBC announce their Computer Literacy Project, with the stated aim of putting a micro in every school in Britain. When Acorn wins the contract, Sinclair is furious, and determines to outsell the BBC Micro with his ZX Spectrum computer. A really must for all Sinclair enthusiasts!

It's a lie. This is not any Chris Curry but it's Artur Dent. I can recognize him. He wasn't involved in Acorn but in Earth's destruction.
