It's catching

Amstrad made scores of audio/tv/ video products, and then the 464/6128 home computers, PCW word processors, 1512/1640 PC clones, about half a dozen 286/386 AT-clones, the PPC luggable, a clamshell portable, and several re-launched Sinclair machines. Plus a fax machine and a couple of printers. That was all in the six years I was there (until 1989). I think that people who watched early Apprentice series might have got the impression that the ridiculous eMailer was the only Amstrad product, as it appeared in as many scenes as possible. It was that sort of product placement that put me off watching it. In fact Amstrad was almost history by the time the Apprentice started, and I think Viglen was by then AMS's only computer product. Wasn't he also into satellite set-top boxes by then? |

Very likely. Wasn't he also into satellite set-top boxes by then? Had been since the beginning, started in about 1989. -- Roland Perry |
