But what of Hermann Hauser, has he been airbrushed out of history? I'm not sure how much comp arch there is here except that this all letd to ARM. Sir Clive offered me a job which I turned down. I guess it would have been for the Spectrum. I also did some contract work for Acorn on nextworking for the BBC micro. Peter
