Chris Curry interviewed by Your Computer magazine (1981)

Chris talks about his work with Clive Sinclair and Acorn Computers with a little BBC Micro.

Curry left school with some A levels and a keen enthusiasm for all things electronic — he used to spend much of his spare time trying to build amplifiers from old television valves. The company was ensnarled with the National Enterprise Board; there were technical problems with 'the infamous Black Watch and the first of the Microvision television sets were proving extremely expensive.
