Here in Brazil there was a Microdigital, a company that basically copied some Sinclair machines in 80’s. I believe that their logo was also cloned from yours.

Hi. I saw an old Video Genie photo with “Microdigital” logo printed. Was your brand?

I think it posts Bruce in a pretty good light – he was the creator of the hype, not the one that bought it himself and started ‘living the dream’.

I love stories of the early days. They are often unbelievable and unbalievably dramatic. Quick rises to the top, massive plummets to the bottom, it’s gripping stuff!

Cliffski has a point. I can’t quite decide if the article paints you in a good or bad light.

Brave of you to post this, Bruce – it seems to largely blame your hype for Imagine’s collapse! I’d have WANTED that page to disappear off the net!

No I didn’t write it.
As explained at the top it is from ZX Goldenyears.

Bruce,

I have a question, did you write this article? If so, then why did you chose to write it in the 3rd person? I sometimes write stuff, and whenever I try and do it in the 3rd person about myself it seems ‘wrong’ somehow.
