They still do that daft phone emailer thing, and still make Sky

And Amstrad is a shadow of what it was and is mainly a "resale"
company. ISTR it has a staff of about 50 these days.

While Viglen is a separate company, Sir Alan does have a stake in it,
I believe.


Sugar bought out Viglen in 2002 when its shares were on the
floor, and took it private via Amshold his wholly owned
Jersey Company.
