Someone will be along in a minute to tell you to watch Micro Men, an amusing and fairly accurate BBC dramatization of the Sinclair/Acorn rivalry :) but I'm here to recommend that you watch the Computer History Museum's interview with Hermann Hauser the erstwhile director of Acorn - he's very charming: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0sC3lT313Q https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0sC3lT313Q
I'm fairly sure they've got one with Chris Curry too, but I can't spot it just now.
- amiga386 2y agoIt would appear you can watch Chris Curry and Hermann Hauser watch Micro Men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaonVYOTSsk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaonVYOTSsk -- and then have a post-viewing chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4I2ktcWdJM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4I2ktcWdJM "I saw the first five minutes and had to run away, because I couldn't bear to see myself portrayed by Martin Freeman" -- Chris Curry

- xyzzy3000 2y agoIt's an entertaining watch, although a fair bit of dramatic licence is taken when depicting various anecdotes that would be well-known to readers of The Micro User and similar magazines of the time.
