Saw this today in a Hyde supermarket car park. It's a 1985 Sinclair C5 designed and produced by Sir Clive Sinclair. Promoted as an electrically assisted pedal cycle, 14,000 were built, but only 5,000 had been sold when Sinclair Vehicles went into receivership. It has since become a cult item and are now sold for many times more than the original cost of £399.

Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

A photo of my Sinclair ZX 81 that I used in my ACCU 2012 session "Is C going the way of the Dodo?".
This was my first computer, back in the day. Unfortunately, it is no longer working. It actually has a hanger on the back, so I can hang it on the wall, like a picture ...
We saw the Sinclair signs on Auto Exchange in The Plains, Ohio. I wonder how long since an actual Sinclair station existed in Athens County?

Dedicated to my friend Urs Koenig. Our rendezvous this Summer (2014) at the Beau Rivage's garden shoreline of lake Lucerne enthused me into moving forward with this design idea I'd been playing around with since our move to Heydon. More images at www.theproductdesigners.com
