          Sinclair was a bit of a c*^1 . He used to by job lots of reject components so often his kit would fail.

              No mate. I didn't get access to an Amiga until I worked with Ocean. And that was an imported A1000.

              I'm older than I look. Not quit Zeity's vintage though.

                I've never seen a picture of you, I only have the way you post on here to go by, and you come across as a malodorous, petulant, jumped up teenager.

                  Perhaps the magnetic attraction of your arse to the bench is somehow linked to your inability to accurately assess people and situations.
