It amuses me that all of these people don't realise that everyone they are going to work with has just watched them being a back-stabbing b
h/asshole on prime time TV for ten weeks. Plus they've seen all the newspapers dig up all the lies they've told on their CVs.
They then wonder why, when they get to their dream job, nobody likes them, no one trusts them and they don't get intergrated into any teams.
And they all claim to business geniuses...

Added to which if Burne had acted towards me the way she alleges that he did towards her he would have been told his name and number PDFQ.

I'm with you there - he's repeatedly attempted to sell products to a low end computing market that doesn't exist - anyone seen any of his set-top emailer boxes recently? when I say we I mean we cleaned out my nan's house and found one that my grandad bought and probably didn't know how to use.

Steve Jobs, on the other hand, seems to have realised early on that people wanted their electronic equipment to be an 'accessory', for want of a better word.It was that ethos of building the computer you wanted, which happened to the computer everyone else didn't yet know they wanted that allowed companies like Apple to innovate. The critical comparison with AMSTRAD would be people like Dell, pretty much a similar strategy in terms of producing a good value PC compatible from bits. However Dell's was implemented significantly more successfully which is why Dell still sells $60 billion of computers each year.

The treble dial should have been labelled "hiss".
I think it is in the loft somewhere...
When I was in the sixth form, I had a Saturday job in Dixons. (This was before my carrer as a part-time burger-flipper at McDeath's. What a CV!)
The the first floor room where the boxes for the display goods were kept (large appliance boxes were excellent places to sneak a power nap) was also home to the 'repairs shelves'. I remember Amstrad's name being fairly prominent. Did Sugar have anything to do with Hinari too, because they were crap as well I seem to remember.
